Yumi Zouma – Present Tense

////
1 min read

“I wish I could get to one of the gigs, because it’s a really enjoyable record I imagine translates to a beautiful, thoroughly immersive live experience. Lo-fi aesthetics belie high-calibre melodic interplay, especially between Christie Simpson’s vocals and Josh Burgess’ guitar work. Olivia Campion’s kinetic percussion work is noteworthy too, helping propel even slower songs like Razorblade along with head-nodding momentum.” – Stuff.co.nz 

“Yumi Zouma showcase a gentle melody that deals with staying present, digging deep, and tackling self-doubt, despite the unknown. It’s a cruisy car ride filled with relaxing vocals, uplifting instrumentals, and hopeful melodies that grant the mind breathing space and clarity – allowing us to appreciate the moment amidst the chaos.” – Happy Mag

“[Mona Lisa] is as textured as it is melodic, its final, soaring refrain culminating with a freewheeling saxophone solo.” – NME AU

“‘Mona Lisa’ sounds like a track that has been swimming about in your head for years.” – Beats Per Minute

“…prepare for some dream-pop motivation…” – Under The Radar
