We haven’t heard much from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah in a while beyond that I still spend a lot of time listening to “Satan Said Dance” and thinking about an HBO miniseries adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian directed by the Coen Brothers, but anyway, things have changed a little in the interim since 2011’s Hysterical.Alec Ounsworth is now the band’s only writing member, and he’s put together a new album called Only Run, which’ll be out in June – try out the groove-heavy, distorted first single “Coming Down,” which features some excellent vocal help from The National’s Matt Berninger, whose deep, nervous sing-talking perfectly parallel’s Ounsworth’s own higher register. You can pick up Only Run in a record store starting June 3; stay tuned in the meantime.
