Yeah Ghost
A long way from the atmospheric downtempo of Zero 7’s debut, *Yeah Ghost* is an album of spry, kinetic, shape-shifting pop backed by a crack rhythm section and fleshed out with shimmering synths and effects. Eska Mtungwazi’s joyous vocals on the bluesy, upbeat “Mr McGee” underscore their playful spirit; the lithe bass/drums/guitar interplay of “Everything Up (Zizou)” suggests dance music recast for a stripped-down rock band. Electronic fans shouldn’t fret: The shimmering “Ghost Symbol” goes deep into sumptuous synths and delicate glitch rhythms.
Zero 7 return, not with a downtempo album but some sort of omnivorous post-MP3 pop record.

On first listening you might check the artist a few times to make sure you downloaded the right thing, but honest, it’s Zero 7.
For some reason, trip-hop and lyrical chill music is typically grounded by prominent female vocals.
