Stream: Alena - Yumi Zouma

Buy Alena on iTunes: http://bit.ly/1naY1rj Yumi Zouma return with new single, Alena, a song infused with their trademark quiet intimacy, now buoyed on a pad of lush electronics and building slowing to a muted euphoric refrain. Sliding in and out of dream states, capturing the safety of nostalgia and the grasping for good times out of reach, Alena's power stems from its evocative ability to unlock chambers in our memory banks. This fall Yumi Zouma circumnavigates the globe in support of Lorde (New Zealand shows) and later, play Iceland Airwaves, along with dates in the UK and US.

Following on from January's EP The Brae, Yumi Zouma are back with what in my view is their best track yet. Cue floaty breathless vocals and weightless melodies that feel like floating in a pool of infatuation. There is a slightly more electronic, disco influenced sound here and it suits Yumi Zouma's music perfectly.
