CYHSY, INC

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.

The Tourist nods to Alec Ounsworth's musical heroes — a group that includes artists such as John Cale, Robert Wyatt, Tom Waits and Nick Cave. However, this album also shows a natural progression from previous records. "Better Off" and "The Vanity Of Trying" are lush, keyboard-augmented songs, while "A Chance To Cure" and "Ambulance Chaser" are rhythmically askew, and the sighing "Loose Ends" is delicate, acoustic-based folk-rock.
