Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - The Tourist (Undertow) 2017
9
Alex Ounsworth is a goddamned genius. Fact, no arguing, no debate – its a statement of fact. CYHSY! – his band, is a tour de force in lyrical invention, pure pop sensibility built on the foundation of what Rock music should be doing. This, his fourth LP, is a collection of music that delves deeper into his mind and soul than ever before – revealing darker edges, more startling revelations of the man and his desires and drives. “A Chance To Cure” is a breathtaking piece of songwriting that drags you running through a field of emotions and leaves you breathless and shaking on a platform edge as a train hurtles past inches from you. He creates world in sound and populates it with your heart and mind and soul and leaves you nestled and safe in his creations.
