[RS.com] Yppah - They Know What Ghost Know (2009) Ninjatune
| Quote: |
 Joe Corrales, Jr. aka Yppah (pronounced �Yippah�) is back. The young Mexican-American from Texas debuted on Ninja Tune in 2006 with his album, �You Are Beautiful At all Times,� and now releases his sophomore effort, �They Know What Ghost Know.�
Fashioning a rockier sound than last time out, the album draws on a cultural heritage that took in My Bloody Valentine alongside hip hop and which is heavily influenced by various forms of electronic music, psychedelic soul and rock.
Opening track �Son Saves The Rest� is wall-of-noise guitar pummeller. �Gumball Machine Weekend� sounds like southern-fried Go! Team with more soul. �Playing With Fireworks� somehow reminds you of the way you felt stuck between childhood and the adult world, not a million miles from instrumental tracks from the Phantom Band. �Shutter Speed� is nostalgia psyched into a memorable tune. Title track �They Know What Ghost Know� is West Coast rock reimagined as trance-rite, a spooky, echo-heavy drum-roll-filled set of repetitions and overlaps that builds into a tune which DJ Shadow in his heyday might have dreamed of making. �Sun Flower Sun Kissed� takes the doomy grey skies of MBV and gives them a Texan make-over. �Bobbie Joe Wilson� channels the Dust Brothers and proves Yppah hasn�t lost his love of hip hop. Corrales build moods through a combination of melody, rhythm and sonics and if those moods are mainly melancholy, they�re also ecstatic.
After a series of shows last year from SXSW to Japan, there�s a real feeling that Joe Corrales is ready to step up into the big league. The album has that feel to it � that it has been made under huge skies, that it�s possible to make music which is epic and intimate all at once. It�s beguiling and beautiful and makes you a little giddy, too. Find out what Ghost know. |
