New Zealand dreampoppers Yumi Zouma have announced second record Willowbank and shared breezy lead single "December".
The new release will follow their full-length cover of Oasis' (What's The Story) Morning Glory? and last year's debut LP Yoncalla.
Willowbank was recorded over the festive period in the city of Christchurch's "semi-demolished CBD", an area severely damaged by a series of earthquakes.
"It was as though there was a brief pause in all of our lives and we finally felt like a band from New Zealand," says the group's Josh Burgess. "We were on home turf and creating from a place that felt fundamentally natural."
Tracklist:
- Depths (Pt. I)
- Persephone
- December
- Half Hour
- Us, Together
- Gabriel
- Carnation
- In Blue
- Other People
- A Memory
- Ostra
- Depths (Pt. II)
Willowbank is out 6 October via Cascine.
