In a message posted yesterday on their website, the members of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah revealed all you wanted to know about their forthcoming release. Some Loud Thunder will be released Jaunuary 30, 2007 by the band, with UK distribution being handled by Witchita an V2.
The band is offering a couple of perks though. Those who don't want to wait until January 30 can buy the mp3s beginning January 16, and then receive the physical album for free upon its release. Also, anyone buying the album directly through the band will receive an exclusive T-shirt.
So what's the new album sound like? Well, you can figure that out for yourself. The band's made two tracks--"Love Song No. 7" and "Underwater (You and Me)"--available for download, while another track, "Satan Said Dance" is streaming on their MySpace page. You can find the tracklist after the jump.
