Alec Ounsworth’s latest album is a world of divorce, substance abuse, callous indifference to murder, and also bittersweet nostalgia for that bygone indie-rock era that gave him a platform in the first place.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's sixth outing is both rewarding and their strongest for some time

7.7 / 10

Frontman Alec Ounsworth wrestles with mixed feelings on his band's latest LP.

It toggles between social awareness and slack harmonies in an interplay that never fully attains the unity it craves.

While Clap Your Hands Say Yeah has essentially always been a solo vehicle for lead singer/songwriter Alec Ounsworth, the group's introspective sixth album, 2021's New Fragility takes this idea to its fullest degree.
