Electro-pop group Yumi Zouma began in 2013 as a home-recording venture by three friends in Christchurch, New Zealand, but quickly outgrew their humble beginnings to spread their relaxed, sweetly melodic music throughout the world. Balancing gentle vocals with warm washes of synths and calmly percolating rhythms, their sound evolved slowly and by the time of 2022's Present Tense the group began to incorporate acoustic instruments and live drums into their arrangements.
