Yumi Zouma "EP I" 2014

The beloved and long out-of-print debut EP from Yumi Zouma — an understated classic since its release in 2014 — repressed for the first time on its original 10" format with new seaglass vinyl edition. The first 500 orders purchased through Cascine's webstore and bandcamp will include a special edition print, designed by the band. - https://yumizouma.bandcamp.com/album/ep-i

Let's move New Zealand music very close to the present and deal with Yumi Zouma. Their last CD is from 2020. They started in 2014 with an EP. They belong to the indie camp and because of the sluggish female vocals they border on the dream pop area. Why they then had the idea of completely covering the Oasis over-album 'What's the Story - Morning Glory' is not entirely clear to me. Two or three tracks would be fine, but a whole album ??? With the fourth title at the latest, you long for the nölenden Gallagher brothers. If the Oasis album had never been released and this Kiwi work instead, it would definitely not have been a global success. You can see how much ultimately depends on people and their type of interpretation. - Gaius
