About this product
What are we to make of the world? In many ways, the title New Fragility perfectly sums up our collective state of unease and anxiety, but it's particularly apt for singer songwriter Alec Ounsworth AKA Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and the trauma he's spent the best part of three years processing. InchIt's pretty personal, Inch says Ounsworth. InchIt's about what I think we're all experiencing at the moment, certainly here in the United States anyway - trying to move forward amidst an almost cruel uncertainty.Inch Taken from the David Foster Wallace short story 'Forever Overheard', from the collection Brief Interviews With Hideous Men - InchYou have grown into a new fragility, Inch says the story's adolescent narrator - the title track documents what happens directly after a long relationship comes to an end, and what's discovered soon after. InchThere comes a period of making up for lost time in a changed world, Inch says Ounsworth, Inchand now is a time of predictable stupidity.Inch InchI never want to take another chance on anyoneInch, Ounsworth laments over a steady chug of muted guitar chords, delicate piano, and bustling drums. InchI can't believe the things I do to myselfInch. It's a song that takes a long, hard look at itself in the mirror and doles out some uncomfortable truths. Yet it also showcases what Ounsworth has become so masterful at - couching a certain level of seriousness in something fun. Something danceable. It's what's powered some of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's most memorable moments, and what makes New Fragility such an accomplished, affecting record.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Tourist - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is back with an incredibly infectious new song called InchFireproof.Inch It's the first single from the band's upcoming full-length, The Tourist, due out Feb. 24m 2017. InchFireproofInch is a thumping, synth-heavy look at how naive people can be. InchI know it's hard to win,Inch sings frontman Alec Ounsworth. InchBut how could I have thought that we'd ever lose.Inch It is really a be-careful-what-you-wish-for kind of song,Inch Ounsworth tells NPR Music in an email. InchI'm starting to accumulate these, in the sense that it explores the idea of trying to win people over and then, once you have, trying to let them go. To be 'fireproof' in this context is to be dangerously self-confident - to have the capacity to try almost anything. The regret comes later.Inch The Tourist is the first new album from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah since 2014's Only Run. Album Tracks 1. The Pilot 2. A Chance to Cure 3. Down (Is Where I Want to Be) 4. Unfolding Above Celibate Moon (Los Angeles Nursery Rhyme) 5. Better Off 6. Fireproof 7. The Vanity of Trying 8. Loose Ends 9. Ambulance Chaser 10. Visiting Hours
