Clap Your Hands Say Yeah undecided on US label for second album

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah may release a second album later this year, but remain unsigned in the US, with member Lee Sargent saying a US deal is uncertain.

Buzz band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah may release their second album later this year, but just who will release it Stateside is not yet clear. Although signed to V2/Wichita over here, the band remain unsigned in the US, having brokered a deal directly with American distributor ADA to handle the release of their eponymous 2005 debut. Band member Lee Sargent has told Billboard that it "remains to be seen" whether they will sign to a US label for the release of their second long player, adding: "We're holding on to this record for a bunch of reasons. It's not a matter of creative control. It's become pretty clear that we'll always have that. We would just like to maintain our release schedule and decide what we want put out there or not."
