Being gone for a while leaves plenty of room for catching up in the world of music. This week’s edition of The Feed features highlights of the first offering from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Hysterical.
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah Hysterical
Not a great record, but more on par with their 2005 debut than 2007’s disastrous Some Loud Thunder. Hysterical is a much better, cohesive effort.

Father, Son, Holy Ghost Girls
Quite possibly the purest rock album made in a long time. While fresh and original, it maintains a retro feel that can appeal to anyone.
