Similar to their last release, The Garden, Zero 7 has continued to move away from downtempo lounge music on Yeah Ghost, this time in favor of upbeat dance pop and electronica, along with folk music. Hints of the group's first two albums are laced throughout Yeah Ghost and are the most noticeable on the tracks The Road and Pop Art Blue. For the most part though, the album jumps around from one genre to the next, making it tough to determine which direction the group is trying to move toward. As much as I would love for them to release another album like Simple Things, it's fun to listen to a band like this expand on their material and display more of their influences. In this case, the variety of those influences produce a collection of good songs on an erratically arranged album.
