Clap Your Hands

"Ian Curtis died by his own hand in 1980, the year Talking Heads released Remain in Light. (...) And normally you wouldn't try to imagine what would have happened if David Byrne would have joined that year as the new singer of Joy Division/New Order. But now there's Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. (...) In at least 5 or 6 songs the magic happens: a drummer that makes you wonder if he's human, melting with a rolling melodic bass, completed with an eery vocal accompanied by a tight right hand. New wave finally lost its desperation."
Het fenomeen Clap Your Hands Say Yeah hield gisteren halt in de AB. Mede-concertganger PM was vandaag al vroeg op en pende neer wat hij daar zoal van vond. Fijn, dan moet ik dat niet doen.
