Yip-Yip - Two Kings of The Same Kingdom

Not the Sesame Street's Yip Yips, this is the progressive electro-spaz duo from Florida's Yip-Yip that we're talking about. Compromising two 25-year olds, Brian Esser and Jason Temple. Both have the spirit and enthusiasm to discover music to another level by experimenting with every single source that produces noise. Explore and you'll know what i'm talking about.

Formed in 2001, they have already released two self-released full length albums and an EP, two handmade art zine/CD singles, the CD-R-turned-international-release Pro-Twelve Thinker, and two more 'real' releases, In The Reptile House and the upcoming one, Two Kings of the Same Kingdom.

Two Kings of the Same Kingdom is the fourth full length album which contains 12 new tracks under 25 minutes. February 5, 2008 is the release date.

New additions to the Yip-Yip arsenal of musical instruments on Two Kings include an organ, cymbals, a gong, and a real saxophone, a noticeable departure from the digital horns heard on their previous album. Yip-Yip also experimented with video for the album (a DVD is included with the CD), making a music video for every song using newly acquired, cheap, used equipment. Esser and Temple try to push themselves to their musical limits with each new album, resulting in a sound that is increasingly complex, yet still fun to listen to. The same goes for their live show. Read on here.

Here's a video to entertain...Sprinkle Council...
