Sounds and Zounds

There are times when finding new music is just hard. The music that you expect to be good is bad and it is just hard to find something that sounds right. Then you find something like “Clap Your Hands Say Yeah” it is familiar and fresh. It’s pop (like soda) with minor twists. It seems like home, but enjoyable to listen to. There lead singer has a early David Byrne type of singing, that is on the edge of cracking but holds the pop tunes in place. There opening track is a circus type ballad of self-importance called Clap your Hands, it set the mood and brings you happily threw all the songs.
