Absolutely brilliant album! Mix of Squarepusher-esque drum samples with shoegazer guitar and dub production. Soooo good.

I don't write a whole lot of reviews, but sometimes I feel an album is good enough that I have to, so here goes...This is an astonishing debut from Ninja Tune's newest signee, producer Joe Corrales a.k.a. Yppah, from Texas of all places! Seriously though, this is an impressive blend of electro beats and post-rock guitar & bass. The ringing, delayed guitars and tinges of synth conjure up images of a starlit night in the wide open spaces of the southwest, but the choppy, looping beats bring an urban, post-modern feel. What a beautiful paradox! The CD is kind of hard to find right now, but do whatever you can to buy it!

Sounds like: Thrill Jockey gone hip hop (without the rapping)laced with heavy shoe-gaze tones. Somber and beautiful all into one great CD.

I heard one song on the radio and thought I would like it. Not what I expected. It was labeled as "chill" style music, but its not what you would expect to hear at a lounge environment.

Ignore the unremarkable album cover. This is a great album of electronica with a beat. If you like The Field, you should like this one.
