OVER THE EDGE February 28, 2007 Corry WINTEMUTE STAFF WRITER In late 2005 Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! came out of nowhere and took the indie rock world by “storm with their infectious mel- odies and caterwauling vocals. Their self titles debut album was an overwhelming success for a band that started making music at home just for fun. They have recently released their second al- bum iSome Loud Thunderi amidst all the hype and have seemingly not let their newfound success go to their heads. If you have never heard CYH- SY before, they can best be de- scribed as a bizarre amalgamation of David Bowie, Talking Heads, and The Pixies. The verdict seems to be out on them however, as it seems people either love or hate Alec Ounsworthis over the top vocal style. They also seem to get a bad rap over the amount of hype that they got because of their first album, but really this is not their fault so good for them for continu- ing to make their unique music in the face of adversity. The opening track was a de- lightful romp that features a ‘nice layer of distortion on everything including Ounsworthis vocals. Itis hard not to want to get up and shake your ass to the infectious cowbell as well. The rest of the album features some cleaner pro- duction than both the first track and their previous album but the music itself is not really drastic- ally different than what they have already done. Not that that is a bad thing, On the first listen I would have said that the album had its weak moments such as the track iSatan Said Dancei, but after hearing it a few more times I start to realize it might be up their as one of my favorite CYHSY tracks. This album pans out in the same way the previous one did for me in that about half the songs are stuck in my head for days on end and I immediately skip the other half. The other side to this how- ever is that when their experimen- tation does work it works amaz- ingly. So I can hardly be upset if there are a few tracks that donit exactly grab my attention. So I guess the new album is not the masterpiece that some people were expecting, but in the end CYHSY are just five friends making music they like for the fun of it. The result is not really a cohesive album but more a smat- tering of happy and catchy tunes that you will probably be hum- ming along to for some time to come. So if you liked the first al- bum then I recommend you check this one out as well and hopefully CYHSY continue to make music for a long time to come and donit get swallowed up by the evil hype machine. 4/5 Upcoming events in Prince George WEDNESDAY New Over the Edge comes Helismen, Vexen, Osmium. $5 - Generator THURSDAY 7 15 Scott La Pointe ~ Kizmet Cafe, #230 FRIDAY Musical Madness. $5 - Sgt's SATURDAY CNC Movie ~ Voiver 2 “CNC Movie - The Lives of Others Luisa Marchall’s: Tina- $35 - Vanier Half 17 CNC Movie -For Your Consideration Black Halos, Pox Eclipse, Ceremony ~ 19+, $5
