Yumi Zouma

Yumi Zouma began as a long-distance home-recording project in 2013. The release of ‘EP I’ in 2014 and ‘EP II’ in 2015 saw the band embraced by blogs, and asked to tour with artists such as Lorde before the group had held a band practice together. In 2016, the band released their debut full-length album, 'Yoncalla', after being invited by Philippe Zdar to work at his Motorbass studio in Paris. Their second full-length, 'Willowbank', was recorded at home in New Zealand, and released in 2017 as a more organic take on the synthpop of their debut. The band released ‘EP III’ in 2018, before their third album 'Truth or Consequences' (and its 'Alternate Versions' accompaniment) arrived in 2020. Studio sessions in between Los Angeles, London, and Florence, inspired the fourth studio album 'Present Tense' in 2022. The band's fourth EP came out in December 2023.
