Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is the eponymous debut studio album by American musical project Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, self-released in the United States on 28 June 2005, and released in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2006 by Wichita Recordings. Produced and mixed by Adam Lasus, the album and the band rose to fame after buzz and attention built up on various MP3 blogs and a very positive ("9.0/10") review from influential music website Pitchfork. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah was listed as one of the 50 most important recordings of the decade by National Public Radio's All Songs Considered.
The success of the album started after bassist Tyler Sargent began mailing out copies of the album from his apartment. As of November 2009, the album has sold more than 125,000 copies in the United States. Although the band still has no official record deal in the United States, they have signed a distribution deal to make the album available to a wider audience. In the UK, the band signed to independent record label Wichita Recordings.
The song "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth" was featured on the 2005 episode "Email Surveillance" of the NBC show The Office as well as the 2011 film The Art of Getting By.
The album cover was created from a drawing by artist Dasha Shishkin and was designed, colored and lettered by group member Robbie Guertin.
