http://elbo.ws/post/2365468/alec-ounsworth-ends-solo-tour-in-chicago/
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Thursday night at Schubas in Chicago, a mustachioed, suit-wearing Alec Ounsworth -- of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah fame -- ended his first solo tour on an apparent high note. "This might be our best show of the tour," he said during one of the few times he addressed the crowd. "It's nice to be in Chicago," he continued. "It's like Philadelphia -- we're underdogs." After audience members objected to the Second City being labeled second tier, he explained, "No, it's [...]]]>text/html2010-02-25T12:55:00+01:00The Walkmen, Flashy Python @ The Bell House

How did you hook up with Steve Berlin, and which of you decided to record your solo album in New Orleans? I met Steve in New Orleans. We both wanted to work together there. We came up with the idea together. Steve lives in our shared hometown of Philly, correct? Yes. Did you know any of the musicians you [...]]]>text/html2009-10-24T13:55:00+01:00A Review of Alec Ounsworths Song, Bones In The Grave: I Hope Alec is a Nice Serial Killer Like Dexter

(If you listen to this song, let me know in the comments if you like it or not.) Every once in a while, usually while Im driving in traffic, an awful, violent thought flashes through my mind. Then, I think, Wow, that was unacceptable; I pop another Lexapro; and I move on with my day. I can imagine singer/songwriter Alec Ounsworth having a similar experience, but instead thinking, What a great idea for a song.

There's not been a Big Famous Album reviewed on this site in bloody ages. Partly I've become so focussed on what's going on locally that I have somewhat taken my eye off the ball with regards to bigger releases, even just those which are big relative to the small world of indie music. And partly there have been very few which have tickled my fancy in the slightest for quite a while. There are some bits and pieces coming along though which suggest that this might change in the immediate future. And about time too, all this navel-gazing [...]]]>text/html2009-08-28T15:52:00+01:00Flashy Python

...perhaps a bit of disclosure is in order: we are BIG fans of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah . There, we said it. We feel much better now... ...it's no surprise then that when CYSHY frontman Alec Ounsworth emerged this week with his new project Flashy Python , we were understandably stoked. Even better, this new material is REALLY good. Not just in a "gee, it would be nice if a new CYSHY album dropped...oh this will do..." kinda way either. Although there may be connections to that band's musical leanings, Ounsworth's voice seems [...]]]>text/html2009-08-14T18:42:46+01:00Alec Ounsworth is Flashy Python
http://elbo.ws/post/1923495/alec-ounsworth-is-flashy-python/
The last time we've heard something new from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah they were playing themselves in a movie featuring Tom Hank's son. They even played a new song, which sounded really good. Now the latest news is that singer Alec Ounsworth is releasing his debut album under the name Flashy Python , and you can stream all the tracks here at the bottom of the page. Much more mature and introspective than the band's sound, Flashy Python flirts with classic elements, including a new theatrical sound.

Wallpaper (featuring Jacob Safari & Kid Static) - "Pool Party" ; It may have been a drab and gray summer for the most part, but that didn't stop Wallpaper from doing their best to get the party started. They provided the remix of "The Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" that got everyone hooked and on this tune they create the coolest vibe ever to get down at a pool party! This is how I'll remember summer 2009, even if that's being a bit delusional! Grade : B+ [...]]]>text/html2009-08-13T16:58:00+01:00Listen to Alec Ounsworth - Flashy Python LP

(photo via setstatic ) 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.

Anti Records is excited to announce the upcoming release of Mo Beauty from celebrated singer/songwriter Alec Ounsworth . The Philadelphia native, who earned acclaim with his band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah , recently recorded his debut solo record in the music-steeped metropolis of New Orleans at the famed Piety St. recording studio. For Mo Beauty , Ounsworth was backed by George Porter Jr. on bass, Stanton Moore on drums, Robert Walter on keys, and [...]]]>
