Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (often abbreviated CYHSY) is the musical project of American indie rock musician Alec Ounsworth. Founded in 2004, the group is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Brooklyn, New York. The band's lineup has evolved over the years but originally included drummer Sean Greenhalgh, keyboardist/guitarist Robbie Guertin, and brothers Lee (guitar/vocals) and Tyler (bass) Sargent. Their self-released debut album, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, was a breakout success in 2005.
With an indie rock sound that blends catchy melodies with Ounsworth's distinctive vocals, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah quickly gained a devoted following. Their music has been praised for its unique songwriting style and experimental approach to indie rock.
Over the years, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah has continued to release albums and tour extensively. Despite changes in their lineup, they have maintained their signature sound and loyal fanbase. With each new release, they continue to push boundaries and explore new musical territories.

Trace the arc of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s evolution and it shows an accomplished musician and composer sounding ever more confident, constantly refining and broadening his sound and indulging an ever wider set of influences. Few have been as consistently brilliant, eclectic, and intimate; fewer still have done so while being defiantly, 100% independent, refusing to sign deals that compromise artistic vision. New Fragility is a continuation of this, yet it also stands apart as one his strongest collection of songs yet. Personal yet universal, New Fragility confronts numerous modern ills. Where They Perform Miracles, a song concerning spirituality and alternative methods of healing, harks back to Ounsworth’s time as an anthropology student doing fieldwork in Mexico, while Dee, Forgiven is an intimate look at what harm anxiety, and the over-prescription of certain medication, has on the vitality of youth. The song contains one of Ounsworth’s strongest vocals yet – a quivering beacon that shifts from a wail to a low grumble in the blink of an eye, a remarkable expressive instrument that sits perfectly amid the understanded orchestration. For 15 years, it’s been one of music’s most distinctive voices, and it’s never sounded as rich or poised.
