Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (often abbreviated CYHSY) is the musical project of American indie rock musician Alec Ounsworth; based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and founded in 2004. Until 2014, the project operated as a band; with drummer Sean Greenhalgh being a member for its entirety. Keyboardist/guitarist Robbie Guertin and brothers Lee (guitar/vocals) and Tyler (bass) Sargent were also a part of the band from its inception until their collective departure in 2012. Their debut album, ''Clap Your Hands Say Yeah'', was self-released in 2005. ==History== Shortly after the release of their first album, they received attention from numerous MP3 blogs and a favorable review from Pitchfork Media〔 〕 , who gave the band a "Best New Music" commendation. The ensuing demand for the album was so great that the band was forced to re-press the CD, as the initial production run was too small. They garnered even more press after David Bowie and David Byrne were spotted at some of the band's shows in 2005.〔 (includes mention of David Bowie sighting) 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, meet David Byrne ) David Byrne sighting at the Seaport Music Festival. 〕 The band released their second album, ''Some Loud Thunder'' on January 29, 2007, in the UK, and January 30, 2007, in the United States. On September 18, 2007, ''Live at Lollapalooza 2007: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah'' was released on iTunes. It features the band's complete live set from Lollapalooza, professionally recorded on August 4, 2007. The band appeared in the 2008 film The Great Buck Howard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Great Buck Howard : Full Credits )〕 In 2008, Lee and Tyler Sargent performed on James Lavino's score to the Alex Karpovsky film Woodpecker (film). The soundtrack also featured performances by Radiohead bass player Colin Greenwood.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Soundtracked - "Woodpecker" by James Lavino )〕 On January 21, 2009, it was reported that CYHSY abandoned plans to head to the studio to record their third full-length album, and are "taking a break" while the band members pursue side projects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Take Break, Not Breaking Up )〕 The public hiatus was to take official effect after the band performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on February 13, 2009, however, on March 4, they performed a new song on ''Late Night with Jimmy Fallon'', titled "Statues". During the hiatus Alec Ounsworth released his solo debut, ''Mo Beauty'', in late 2009 while concurrently releasing Skin and Bones, the debut album with his other band Flashy Python. Robbie and Tyler played in another project called Uninhabitable Mansions, along with Annie Hart from Au Revoir Simone. Robbie also began playing drums in another band, Radical Dads. Drummer Sean Greenhalgh produced records for a number of bands including Takka Takka, Conversion Party, Gabriel and the Hounds, Radical Dads, and Tom McBride. Lee Sargent also left the band after the July 7 show. On August 1, 2013 Clap Your Hands Say Yeah digitally released their EP ''Little Moments'' on their Bandcamp page. It consisted of four songs, two of which were to be included in a different form on their forthcoming LP, ''Only Run''. ''Little Moments'' featured a new sound for the band that included a heavier reliance on synths and drum machines and fewer guitars. The band recorded the EP in Alec Ounsworth's home studio, mixing and mastering the EP themselves. Additionally, 500 10 inch vinyl EPs were put on sale on the band's Bandcamp page. On December 31, 2013 the band announced via email the completion of their forthcoming album called ''Only Run'' with a release date of June 3, 2014. The album was mixed by Dave Fridmann. A new single, "Coming Down", was released via SoundCloud on April 1, 2014. The track features vocals from The National's Matt Berninger. Following the release of ''Only Run'', Greenhalgh left the band; leaving Ounsworth as the only member of the band. On May 13 2015, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah announced they are to re-release their 2005 debut self-titled album on CD and vinyl for its 10th anniversary, which will coincide with a North American tour. The album will be released on June 2 2015 and come with a 12-track cassette of solo acoustic recordings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clap Your Hands Say Yeah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
