Where's the woolen sweater you mentioned in the letter?



Clap Your Hands Say Yeah have recently announced their public hiatus, although they are still together it will probably take a while before they will release some new blistering material. However, I for one will never forget CYHSY whatever may happen to them in the future. Their self-titled debut album is one of my all time favourite records and deserves all the credit it got over the last few years. The energy, wide variety of sounds, DIY attitude, tongue-in-the-cheek lyrics and squealing vocals, make this is album a must listen for everyone who claims to be remotely interested in music.
