Woah. Now this is a pleasant surprise. CYHSY were always one of those bands I never understood. A lot of spastic warbly vocals over some straightforward indie-rock. Good enough but not really lighting my candle. Now this jam “Maniac,” the first taste of their upcoming 3rd album Hysterical, is a whole nother beast. Alec Ounsworth has toned himself down and honed in on a vocal delivery that is still very much his but even better fits his bands tighter and peppier music. Set this one as your alarm track tomorrow morning and I bet you’ll be out of bed on time and with a smile on your face.

“A lot of spastic warbly vocals over some straightforward indie-rock.” I couldn’t have said it better, must admit the name still annoys me! Maniac is pretty solid though.

Alarm track changed (from The Botaniks – “Fond of Jane” btw :) ). Tomorrow I’ll be smiling all day long :)Â Very nice track, full of positive energy.
yeah, I know their first album well and knew about the second but was never motivated to track it down. This one is definitely on my list though. Thanks John!

True that. But I’m now pretty curious what this album will be like.
Haha, nice!
Sounds pretty great, definitely going to get their next album. The vocals remind me of the Spinto Band every now and again.
Hmmm. Don’t know Spinto Band. Should I?
Pretty decent stuff, you might know “Oh Mandy” from their album “Nice and Nicely Done”:Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-qCuYEUGugÂ
They also have a more recent album called “Moonwink”.
