Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will reissue their second album Some Loud Thunder to mark its tenth anniversary.
The band are also planning to perform the album in full during select North American, UK and European tour dates after the re-release on May 25th. “Some Loud Thunder was an album written mostly as a reaction to the not unwelcome but still uncomfortable great interest in the band’s first album, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah,” Alec Ounsworth says.
“Depending on who you asked, in 2007 the band was known alternatively as the ‘real thing’ or a flash in the pan, a band who presented a new paradigm for independent music or whose model was based on sheer luck, a band simply enjoying the process of creation or a (relatively) new band struggling to maintain some sort of illusory artistic foothold.”
