Damn. There seems to be quite a lot of hype surrounding the release of Wincing The Night Away. Well-deserved hype (the album is great) but lots of hype nonetheless.
I wish the same could be said about the upcoming Clap Your Hands Say Yeah release. Sure, there are a few tracks floating around, there's lots of speculation and lots of fans hoping for a leak (which doesn't seem too bloody likely before the MP3's are available this coming Tuesday). Unfortunately, speculation is vastly different from hype. CYHSY, Where are you guys? No interviews, no TV appearances, barely any tour dates announced. C'mon!!
