Most blogged artists: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah tease comeback album

(All rights reserved)

American indie band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah debuts in the Hype Machine's most blogged artists chart with a new video teasing their upcoming comeback album. Also in the top ten on June 22: American indie band Bon Iver, fronted by folk singer/songwriter Justin Vernon, takes the number one spot, and indie trio The Antlers reenters the chart.

Last month, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah announced their new album, Hysterical, and in recent days dropped a teaser video featuring snippets of new tunes, including one dubbed "Same Mistake." The album, the band's first in four years, is set for a September 20th release date. "From those sound bites it sounds like the band is still in great form and ‘Same Mistake' confirms that assessment," writes The Muse in Music (themuseinmusic.com).

Fronted by Peter Silberman, Brooklyn-based trio The Antlers is a hot topic since the release of their fourth effort, Burst Apart, and followup release to their critically acclaimed 2009 LP Hospice. "The album opener called 'I Don't Want Love' is my favourite cut and sees them embrace their slightly poppier side," writes blogger Eclectic Eavesdropping (eclecticeavesdroppings.tumblr.com). Of the same track, blogger Another Dying Artform (anotherdyingartform.blogspot.com) adds: "Featuring [Silberman's] acrobatic falsetto and a solemn organ, this ode to combative lovers benefits from the band's new clarity and confidence."
