Yumi Zouma is a band without borders. But if distance makes the heart grow fonder, then consider the transcontinental indie-pop luminaries bonded for life. Composed of members Christie Simpson (vocals, keyboards), Josh Burgess (guitar, bass, vocals, keyboards), Charlie Ryder (guitar, bass, keyboards), and Olivia Campion (drums), Yumi Zouma originally joined forces in 2013. All New Zealanders, the band’s members have always lived separately in different cities, with Christie currently based in Melbourne, Charlie in London, Josh in New York, and Olivia in Wellington.

Yumi Zouma’s storied career has spanned over an entire decade – from the shoegaze and dream-pop of EP I and the blogosphere ubiquity of the early single ‘A Long Walk Home For Parted Lovers’ in 2014, to the synth pop of their debut LP, YONCALLA, alongside tours with Lorde, Jamie xx, and Magdalena Bay, global support from Pitchfork, Stereogum, Consequence of Sound, The FADER, SPIN, and The Guardian, and radio spins from SiriusXM and Triple J. Following four EPs and four albums (2016’s YONCALLA, 2017’s WILLOWBANK, 2020’s TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, and 2022’s PRESENT TENSE), Yumi Zouma is ready to catapult into the next era of their career with their new album NO LOVE LOST TO KINDNESS on Nettwerk.
