Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

In the live recording of "Only Run" at KEXP on August 2, 2014, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah was in the midst of an exciting phase, having just released their album "Only Run" in June of that year. This album marked a notable moment for the band, showcasing a shift toward a more accessible sound while still keeping their indie charm alive. An interesting tidbit is that the lineup had changed since their earlier work; frontman Alec Ounsworth was supported by new members that brought fresh energy to the performance. The KEXP studio setting allowed for an intimate experience, where fans could connect with the band's evolved style, reflecting on their journey from underground staples to recognized indie darlings. It's a great example of how live performances can breathe new life into a band’s creative direction.
