Alec Ounsworth Ticket Giveaway In Upcoming Newsletter

Heads up, Madison!  We’ll be sending out a brand new newsletter (ahem) very soon (cough, cough), which will include an opportunity to win tickets to Alec Ounsworth‘s upcoming Madison show at The High Noon Saloon.  If you haven’t already signed up for our mailings, you can do so here.

The Clap Your Hands Say Yeah frontman will be playing a solo set with openers Ezra Furman & The Harpoons, and Madison’s The Nod.  This is going to be a super-fun show, and we want you there!

For a taste of what’s in store at Alec’s concert, take a listen to the tunes he recorded during his Daytrotter session last year, and check out what the critics are saying about his solo work:

*********

“The result is baroque stuff that shows off Ounsworth’s distinct David Byrne-in-the-ER whine, and it keeps moving forward — check out the Springsteen-ish ‘That Is Not My Home (After Bruegel).’ “ — Rolling Stone, on Alec’s solo album, Mo Beauty

*********

“It’s a challenging, warm if understated effort destined to thunk into the indie solo album dartboard somewhere between Julian Casablancas and Duncan from Maximo Park.” — NME review of Mo Beauty

*********

“Everything about CYHSY was thin and sharp– Ounsworth’s frame, his voice, the prickly guitars– but this sound is voluptuous and muscular, and it suits him well.” –Pitchfork, on Alec’s latest single

*********

“Almost every tune on Mo Beauty equals or betters those on CYHSY’s lauded 2005 debut, mixing spooky folk with frantic fun.” –Spin
