Fourth album, following 2006's The Garden, from the Brit downtempo/chillout duo. Not content to make the same album again, with Yeah Ghost they have turned in a markedly different work brimming with new ideas, from funky uptempo club bouncers, through avant-garde ambient, to indie-influenced, organic-sounding tracks like the free single "Everything Up (Zizou)". Features vocals from folkie Martha Tilston and the soulful, throaty Eska Mtungwazi, who has performed with Matthew Herbert.

Track Listings:

1. Count Me Out
2. Mr McGee
3. Swing
4. Everything Up (Zizou)
5. Pop Art Blue
6. Medicine Man
7. Ghost Symbol
8. Sleeper
9. Solastalgia
10. Road, The
11. All Of Us

two months pass...

It's unfortunate that their stuff consistently flies under the radar, because they keep getting better and more interesting with each album. The Garden was a great leap forward and Yeah Ghost is even better. It's probably tied with the Broadcast/Focus Group EP for my favorite album of the year.

It's also worth noting that, although they're kinda known for their mellow, chill-out music (which I love), the last two albums have been somewhat of a a departure from that. Kinda like their 10,000 Hz Legend, if you will.

five years pass...

Goddamn, did this album unfairly get the shaft. It still sounds so great. I wish they'd released it under a different band name.

I'll just keep reviving this goddamn thread every few years until someone listens to me already, goddamnit. If zealotry is what's required, then I shall take up the zealot's sword.

I don't know how people can so thoroughly discount an album with this song on it.
