• Yumi Zouma share new album 'No Love Lost To Kindness'. | Coup De Main Magazine
Yumi Zouma have shared their fifth studio album, 'No Love Lost To Kindness'. The album was recorded in Mexico City where the band assembled back in 2023 for writing sessions.The band shared on the record: “For us, the album is one where we made a deliberate effort to shed the soft-focus production of old YZ in favour of a heavier and more emotionally exposed feel. Lyrically and sonically, this record embraces big hooks and unfiltered personal sentiment much more than our previous work. The themes explore confrontation, diagnosis, disillusionment, risk, and honesty - trading ambiguity for clarity, and polish for power. This album is us becoming a rock band and leaving dream pop behind.”Watch a live performance of the track 'Cowboy Without A Clue' below...
