Hey, I got quoted in the NY Times - who wants to make out?
Although they spelled my name wrong - it should be B-R-I-A-N, not P-I-T-C-H-F-O-R-K:
There is miniature majesty to their music - sounds and motifs come and go on the record, seemingly of their own accord. But just when you think Clap Your Hands is a domestic version of Belle and Sebastian, the British kings of twee-core, they rear up and make a big, scary noise. Pitchfork did a good job of describing the music: "Clap Your Hands traffics in melodic, exuberant indie rock that pairs the shimmering, wafting feel of Yo La Tengo with a singular vocal presence that sounds like Paul Banks attempting to yodel through Jeff Mangum's throat. Or imagine the Arcade Fire if their music were more fun-loving and less grave."

Ha-hah. Congratulations.
Imagine how many "Old School New York Breakfasts" (black coffee + cigarettes + NY Times) went down with your blurb.
