Search - YUMI ZOUMA :: Ep 1 & 2

Yumi Zouma began as a project in 2013 between three friends from Christchurch, New Zealand. The songs were never intended to leave the computers they were composed on, but following a casual exchange with the Brooklyn based Cascine label, it was clear that the music was too good to be confined to hard drives. The following six months were spent readying a humble four-track release. In January 2014, their debut EP launched to overwhelming acclaim - the music lauded as being undeniably stylish, underplayed and honest. The months that followed saw the band repeatedly climb to #1 on the Hype Machine, sell through two pressings of vinyl records and collaborate with longtime musical role models, Air France. That year, Yumi Zouma took their once-withdrawn project to sold-out theaters across Australia supporting Chet Faker, to club shows in North America and to festivals throughout Europe. The band was recently tapped by Lorde to open for the star on her arena tours of New Zealand and North America, and now split their time between Auckland and New York City. This compilation is a collection of the bands first EP and the second brand new EP which includes the singles "Alena" and "Catastrophe. "
