New Zealand's Yumi Zouma have announced a second EP titled II, and are streaming the lead cut "Catastrophe" in video form.
"Catastrophe" is part one of a two-part visual series for the band by BANGS about "a fictional small town in which the people are disrupted from their day-to-day life by otherwordly forces". The track continues their dreamy yacht-pop vibes and shimmering guitar hooks, adding a newfound clarity in the process - on their debut EP, we saw a thick smog of FX and synths, and now there's a propensity for big pop statements and heartfelt lucidity.
The band's second short-player will drop via Cascine on 10 March.
Watch the "Catastrophe" video below.
