Listen to Alec Ounsworth - Flashy Python LP

HANK ALTOGETHER:
Probably one of the most disappointing albums of the decade for me was Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!'s sophomore record Some Loud Thunder. The self-titled first LP, which is still fabulous, brought us jangly disjointed pop with the bizarre croon of Alec Ounsworth, whose songwriting ability seems to be pretty damn massive. Since CYHSY are on hiatus, Ounswroth is dropping 2 LPs in a sort of Ryan Adams-esque quest for world dominace. I'm kidding. Kinda. You can listen to the new Ounsworth record Flashy Python thru that cool little thing at the bottom of the post. It's a good listen, not as catchy as the first but not nearly as muddled as Some Loud Thunder. Is it just me or does it sound like Sunset Rubdown and Ounsworth have been drinking out of the same glass?

You be the judge:
