Yppah – Gumball Machine Weekend (Advance EP) – 2009

Artist: Yppah
Title: Gumball Machine Weekend
Label: Ninja Tune
Genre: Electronic

我角着，我要再不动换动换，工厂将会被历史抛弃，最重要的是……我这一年域名钱岂不是白花了……Yppah终于又动换了！他在2006年的You are beautiful at all times可够热的，掀起一波小高潮。这次行将发布的新专辑，从这张EP来看，我个人感觉也应该会火起来。它继承了上一张编曲细腻旋律优美的良好作风，而且每一首制作都很精良，的确是慢工出细活儿。这样一来，下回Yppah要是再过3年才动换一下儿，也没人会说他磨洋工了。

Release Notes:

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, in the build up to his sophomore effort, "They Know What Ghost Know," he returns with the superb "Gumball Weekend Machine EP".

Fashioning a rockier sound than last time out, the EP 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.

"Gumball Machine Weekend" itself sounds like southern-fried Go! Team with more soul, "The Drag" is a feedback-driven, fuzz-bassed epic, "Shutter Speed" is psychedelic teen nostalgia while album 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.
