“"As Always," the first song on Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's fourth album, is an enormous-sounding rush of ambient noise, thunderclap snare shots, iridescent guitar beauty and singer Alec Ounsworth guardedly assuring, "Sooner or later I will change/And we will be all right." The mix of rich ambition and shaky optimism defines a band that's traded clattery low-fi post-punk for music that's high-drama ”
“Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's fourth full-length was preceded by the departure of three fifths of the band’s formative line-up, and includes contributions from the National's Matt Berninger and Kid Koala. The album has the feel of a band being reconstructed in real time.”
