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.
Review:
Over the last ten years, Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker (aka Zero 7) have amassed a decent reputation as one of the 90’s key ‘post-rave’ electronica outfits. Their debut album Simple Things, was one of the most uplifting and coherent downtempo documents of the era, up there with classics by Massive Attack, Air and Nightmares On Wax. Subsequent albums When It Falls and The Garden have been good, if less consistent. Their latest offering, Yeah Ghost, is their patchiest yet, zigzagging carelessly through experimental electronica, meandering acoustic folk ("Pop Art Blue", "Swing") and upbeat tracks like the Basement Jaxx-esque "Mr McGee" and "Medicine Man" (both featuring London vocalist Eska). While there are undeniably some good songs here, many of them featuring the golden Zero 7 sound, others such as recent single "Everything Up (Zizou)"–which features Binns on vocals–feel sub-standard, especially lyrically, and the more outré moments ("Count Me Out", "Solastalgia", "Ghost sYMbOL", often feel jarring rather than interesting or exploratory. While it’s doubtless good for bands to step out of their comfort zones, it’s generally better if they can do it with a little more grace and vision. –Danny McKenna
