History
editEarly years
editCorrales began playing guitar and bass in rock bands during high school, and later became more involved in electronic music and turntablism. He was involved in the early creation of mashups, and was part of a turntablist group called The Truth. Yppah is influenced by shoegaze, various electronic music, psychedelic soul, and rock music, evidenced by heavy use of reverb, effects, and electronics.
You Are Beautiful at All Times
editHis first album, titled You Are Beautiful at All Times, was released in 2006 on the Ninja Tune label.[2] The single "Again with the Subtitles" was released immediately prior to the album, and was featured in the film 21. "It's Not the Same", a song from the album, was used in a trailer for Alone in the Dark, as well as the episode "Last Resort" from the series House. Similarly, the song "In Two, the Weakly" is featured in the CSI episode "Ending Happy".

Eighty One is Yppah's most widely received album to date, with the singles "Film Burn" and "D. Song" (both featuring Anomie Belle) charting on radio stations across North America and Japan.[7] "D. Song" was featured in the second episode of season two of the Netflix show Altered Carbon.[8] Eighty One features several guest appearances by Seattle artist Anomie Belle who Corrales met when the two artists performed together on tour with Bonobo.
