Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Announce Burned, Their First LP in Five Years

Alec Ounsworth's band will issue Burned on January 29 through his CYHSY label, with Nick Krill producing. The 10-track album is led by 'Fever of the Mind,' and a 2027 tour across the U.S. and Europe is planned.

Alec Ounsworth wrote Burned, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s first album in five years, while processing a breakup and the deaths of people close to him. The ten-song record was made with producer Nick Krill and is scheduled for January 29 on Ounsworth’s CYHSY imprint. “Fever of the Mind” is the lead single.

Ounsworth says that song set the album’s direction, both in theme and sound, and helped him organize the remaining material around it. In 2025 he marked the twentieth anniversary of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s 2005 debut with a tour. A 2027 run will bring the project to Europe and North America.
