"Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood" is an Alec Ounsworth song, words and music, from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's self-titled debut, the record the band put out on its own in the US on 28 June 2005 with no label behind it. Keith Souza recorded the track, and Adam Lasus, who produced the album, mixed it.
The album's rise is a textbook blog-era story: bassist Tyler Sargent mailed copies out of his apartment, the MP3 blogs caught the scent, and a 9.0 from Pitchfork turned the buzz into a stampede. Wichita Recordings brought it to the UK in January 2006, and NPR's All Songs Considered later named it among the decade's 50 most important recordings.
