From the Roots as house band to Van Morrison and Justin Timberlake (nice guy, says Wayne Coyne) to Santigold and Spank Rock, we’ve been closely covering the nascent days of Jimmy Fallon’s show. Last night the nervous one hosted Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, who debuted a new song “Statues.” It’s upbeat. The “ecstatic” audience in the balconies to the sides of the stage takes some getting used to — are they wearing mics? — but CYHSY should be stoked that they now have more than shrill, screeching bloggers at their shows.
For the price of an email address, like Jimmy said, you can download the song at CYHSY’s website. On the same site, the guys mention that “['Statues'] a song that we might work on some more in the future.”

Glad they are going to keep working on that, because it sucked.
tone deaf as fuck.
“chasin’ my own shhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedowwwwww”
please. stop. “singing.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Very cool song. Glad they didn’t break up? Or did they?
agreed, very cool song. *downloads
but it may be more true now than ever that if you dont like that voice, you really wont like it here
Anyone peep the mp3? The production is ridiculous.
tone deaf? know CYHSY before u comment, this track was awesome… def the type of direction i am looking for after some loud thunder… why do they have to take a break they rock
i know them quite well and apparently with each release i grow more and more aggravated. its the voice
wait, they are on a break, right? so…what is this? anyone care to explain why they have new material?
if Wayne Coyne is the nicest guy in Indie Rock Land and Win Butler is the biggest A-hole then Alex Ounsworth is hands down the most BORING
Perhaps they should have worked on it some more in the PAST. Oh, snap.
collapse your hands and say meh to this
why do they need three guitars to play a boring song. Only place you really need 3 guitars is in dreamtheater or somthing.
Wow… haters… I actually thought it was a decent song. The voice is a given, either it’ll turn you on or you’ll hate it – like Joanna Newsom. I think they’re quite good at balancing it in the music… as long as the voice doesn’t become some stupid affectation, it works. See Ys for how a naturally interesting voice can turn stumble into affectation.
genius! lovin that monica
ha! nice two word write up on this piece of garbage. “It’s upbeat.”
Good god, when did Paul Giamatti form a skiffle band?
