Clap Your Hands Say Yeah celebrates the 20th anniversary of its historic self-titled debut album in 2025 with a world tour performing the album in its entirety along with other surprises and an exclusive new reissue. 

Few bands have burst onto the scene as brilliantly as this band. Their debut defined an era and marked a paradigm shift in the music industry. But Clap Your Hands Say Yeah achieved all this and more; It's no surprise that the band's self-titled first album is still considered one of the best and most influential independent releases of the 2000s.

Featuring a heady mix of lush, melodic indie rock and pop, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah repurposed a host of classic musical references for a new generation of music fans. The band, formed around the enigmatic singer-songwriter Alec Ounsworth, achieved that rare alchemy by synthesizing a dizzying array of styles and influences into something entirely their own. And that something was absolutely glorious, full of droning synths, high-pitched guitars, boisterous drums, and Ounsworth's lilting, howling voice.
