When Alec Ounsworth unveiled Clap Your Hands Say Yeah as his solo recording project in 2004, he introduced one of the most extraordinary voices in all of indie rock.
Twenty years later, as he tours to celebrate the anniversary of his now-classic premier record, his devoted fans agree that he sounds better than ever.
Ounsworth recently sold out The Atlantis and found himself and his bandmates the beneficiaries of a last-minute venue change — the Monday night show was scooted next door to 9:30 Club to make room for additional attendees on March 31.

Such a shift made for a special occasion, and Ounsworth and his crew were impassioned and flawless in their front-to-back performance of the original Clap Your Hands Say Yeah album, featuring a truly climactic take on the immortal hit, “The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth.”
