Besides Blonde on Blonde, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s debut album has one of the more annoying opening tracks ever. It seems purposely designed to scare people off so the band would be artificially limited in fan base and therefore keep their indie cred.

I would call them a modern Talking Heads stylistically.
Definitely this band is very painfully cool though – they take themselves a little too seriously for me to become much of a fan.
