{"product_id":"yppah-d-song","title":"Yppah - D. Song","description":"\u003cp\u003eLandscape\nand memory have always played a central part in the music of Joe Corrales Jr.\naka Yppah (pronounced “yippah”). It’s what gives his tunes both their sense of\nplace, their physicality, and their ethereal - almost nostalgic - sweetness.\nHis third album for Ninja Tune reflects a change in the landscape around him.\nMidway through the process of recording the demos for what became \u003cem\u003eEighty One,\u003c\/em\u003e\nCorrales started making regular trips to Galveston, on the Texas Gulf coast, to\nsurf. So energised was he by his experiences, he left his home in Texas and\nmoved to Long Beach, California. Unsurprisingly then, he says that the images\nhe had in his head as he made his new music were of the sea and the beach. \u003cem\u003e“I wanted a lot of the songs to feel like a warm wash,”\u003c\/em\u003e he\nexplains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eCorales bifurcated belief in the power of both hip hop and My\nBloody Valentine is still evident, but this is the warmest, most uplifting\nmusic he has made. This is reinforced by Corrales’ other source of inspiration.\nThe record takes its title from the year Corrales was born and, perhaps the\nvery act of moving away from childhood locales stirred up \u003cem\u003e“memories from random\ntimes in my life. Like I was trying to recreate certain feelings I had at\ndifferent points in my life with melodies, if that makes any sense.”\u003c\/em\u003e And he\ngoes on to ask, \u003cem\u003e“You know how when you’re a child you feel your life has a\ncertain melodic theme that you can’t really put your finger on and you can\nalmost hear it, but its not anything you’ve ever heard before?”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eEighty One\u003c\/em\u003e is\nhis attempt to capture those melodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful,\nuplifting and imbued with a natural,\nunaffected warmth that cuts through the most biting cold, \u003cem\u003eEighty One\u003c\/em\u003e is\nYppah’s most satisfying work yet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"Download (MP3)","offer_id":62903564304543,"sku":"ZENDNLS315","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Download (WAV)","offer_id":62903564337311,"sku":"ZENDNLS315W","price":1.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/d-song-main.jpg?v=1793913177","url":"https:\/\/merch.ninjatune.net\/products\/yppah-d-song","provider":"Ninja Tune","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
