Yumi Zouma, “The Brae”

15 Jan 2014 — Parker Bruce

According to The Free Dictionary, New Zealand-originating band Yumi Zouma are singing about a Scottish word for 'a hillside' or 'a slope' in their song "The Brae", and based off what I've read in Chris Kraus books as of late, there are braes in New Zealand. Yumi Zouma make something you can wade and bob around in. The movement it inspires is flowing and loosey goosey with the song wafting around. Their EP, also called Yumi Zouma, will be brought to us by Cascine February 11. Based off "The Brae," it looks like it will be another banner year for the label. This is one highly recommended pre-order.
