Yumi Zouma – New Zealand Net Radio

Album of the Week: Yumi Zouma – No Love Lost to Kindness

The general narrative with this album is goodbye dream-pop, hello grit. This isn’t quite true, there are still good examples of the sweet melodic sounds we’ve come to love (e.g. “Every False Embrace”) but there certainly are some more raunchy sounds on this album. We think they’ve achieved a good blend of ‘mixing it up a bit’ and retaining their core identity and who they are. The Guardian were a bit lukewarm about this – we disagree. Variety is always nice but they didn’t really have anything on previous albums that they needed to ‘fix’.

Great to have two Kiwi albums in a row in our Album of the Week slot. This week one of our long term favs return. Yumi Zouma have expanded their sound by adding some new instrumentation, while still keeping with their chill melodic sound. We’ve been playing a couple of the singles which are really solid for a while (“Where the Light Used to Lay” and Ïn the Eyes of Our Love”) but each track is a little treasure.

Album of the Week: Yumi Zouma – Truth or Consequences

Acclaimed Kiwi pop quartet Yumi Zouma have come up with another pearler. Recorded in Los Angeles, London and Christchurch, AllMusic describes this album as “sweet, cozy and melodically engaging”. We think you’ll enjoy this sweet album in these crazy times.
