Clap Your Hands Say Yeah announce new album, The Tourist, share “Fireproof”

Songwriter Alec Ounsworth on Feburary 24th will release a new album under Clap Your Hands Say Yeah named The Tourist. It will be his fifth full-length under the name and it is the follow-up to 2014’s Only Run.

The Tourist was recorded in a week at Dr. Dog’s studio in Philadelphia. It has 10 tracks and they were engineered by Nick Krill of The Spinto Band and mixed by Dave Fridmann, who also helped on two of CYHSY’s previous LPs. The album is said to be a “nod” to Ounsworth’s inspirations like Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and Paul Simon.

“I wanted to experiment with packing lyrics,” Ounsworth said in a press release. “On this album, the lyrics and vocal melody effectively carry the songs, maybe more than anything else. Elvis Costello does this really well on his song ‘Beyond Belief,’ as does Paul Simon on his solo albums.”

Thematically, Ounsworth used The Tourist to reflect on an emotional couple of years, describing the songs as a “purge of certain emotional confusion that manifested itself in the last several years. I’d rather not say that it was a dark time, but it was a difficult time in my life — among the most difficult. But I needed and need to try to let it go. And this is how I let things go.” Ounsworth has shared “Fireproof” as a preview to the upcoming album, which he tells NPR is “really a be-careful-what-you-wish-for kind of song.” Stream it below.

The Tourist Tracklist:
01. The Pilot
02. A Chance To Cure
03. Down (is Where I Want To Be)
04. Unfolding Above Celibate Moon (Los Angeles Nursery Rhyme)
05. Better Off
06. Fireproof
07. The Vanity Of Trying
08. Loose Ends
09. Ambulance Chaser
10. Visiting Hours

Ounsworth will embark on a North American tour in support of the LP beginning in March.
