premiere: Yumi Zouma – The Brae
An early frontrunner for our most played/dreamiest song of 2014 from Yumi Zouma, via the always wonderful label Cascine. The New Zealand group's wistful, shimmering new single "The Brae" is a nice subtle shift from the also great soft-focus funk of the group's first track, "A Long Walk Home for Parted Lovers", that surfaced last year; despite the decidedly '80s vibes the cover art suggests, this is timeless, hopelessly romantic dream-pop. Yumi Zouma's beautiful limited self-titled 10" EP is out February 11 on Cascine.
