Clap Your Hands Say Yeah celebrate the 20th anniversary of their landmark self-titled debut album througout 2025 with a worldwide tour performing the album in its entirety alongside other surprises, and an exclusive new reissue. A heady blend of leftfield pop and melodic, exuberant indie rock, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is unquestionably among the finest and most influential independent releases of the 2000s. The celebration officially gets underway with the premiere of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s original 2004 version of the fan favorite, “Heavy Metal”. The newly remixed and mastered track was recently discovered among the original project files and captures what Clap Your Hands Say Yeah founder and frontman Alec Ounsworth calls “a special moment in time – a young group of guys all piling into one hotel room to wake up and go to a real studio (!) to try to come up with something special just for the fun of it.”  In addition to the digital anniversary release featuring the original version of “Heavy Metal,” a special deluxe reissue will arrive on limited edition vinyl LP in early 2025, released on CYHSY’s own label via Secretly Distribution, the defiantly independent home to over two decades of Alec Ounsworth’s music.

Babehoven is a band fronted by singer-songwriter Maya Bon and collaborator Ryan Albert in Hudson, NY. Their new album 'Water's Here In You' is available everywhere on April 26 via Double Double Whammy. Written and recorded at the duo's home studio throughout the winter of 2022 — 2023, 'Water's Here In You' comes close on the heels of Babehoven's debut album 'Light Moving Time,' which followed an impressively prolific canon of shorter releases dating back to 2017, when Bon founded the project in college. Their latest album continues the thread of the band's sonic DNA — blending hyper-melodic indie and folk rock with shades of shoegaze and the occasional nod toward country. Across twelve varied and meticulous tracks, Babehoven offers their take on finding connection, groundedness, and growth in what we all carry within us. After finishing the new record, Babehoven spent much of 2023 on the road — supporting acts like Slow Pulp, Indigo de Souza, MJ Lenderman, and more at home and nationwide. Keeping up their prolific track record, the band looks to continue touring and prepping new music throughout 2024 and beyond.
