Yppah, aka the young Texan Joe Corrales, is back with a second album of mesmerising mostly instrumental music.
Fusing electronica, reverb laden guitars, and acoustic melodies, They Know What Ghost Know is an ambient mix of shoegaze, 70s prog-rock and hip hop influences (as on ‘Bobbie Joe Wilson’).
Tracks like ‘A Parking Lot Carnival’ recall Mogwai’s habit of building music from subtle melody into a more discordant wall of noise.
It’s an album all about mood—at times melancholy and beautiful, at times mildly irritating such as when the psychedelic sounding keyboard is given an occasional airing.
