https://shintarosakamoto.bandcamp.com/

After 20+ years with psych legends Yura Yura Teikoku, Shintaro Sakamoto’s third solo album is a bonafide masterpiece of warped steel guitar, ambient disco and AOR soul. Vinyl release on Mesh-Key out mid-July.

“Perfectionist pop for the extraterrestrial bachelor pad.”  Spin
“Like a language of Sakamoto’s own…made with a ship-in-the-bottle-like focus.”  Pitchfork
“Love if Possible is the pay-attention-moment. Not enough know. More should know.”  Under The Radar

Just over a year after releasing their lauded debut LP, Yoncalla, Yumi Zouma return with Willowbank, the band’s sophomore album. For the making of Willowbank, Yumi Zouma's members — Charlie Ryder, Josh Burgess, Christie Simpson and Sam Perry — settled on a plan to reunite for the New Zealand summer. To complete what would become their first significant work written and recorded entirely in their home country, they rented a studio in Christchurch’s semi-demolished CBD, on one of the few remaining blocks that still characterizes the city from before it was destroyed 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,” said Burgess. “We were on home turf and creating from a place that felt fundamentally natural.” When you know it’s there, the feeling of rootedness is undeniable on Willowbank. Being connected to their origins on the bottom of the earth allowed the band’s members to craft another essential chapter in the Yumi Zouma storybook.

Yumi Zouma - Depths (Pt. I)

Weighed Down

Your friends they seem to talk a lot. 
You know i’m not that type. 
Just pull-up in your shopping cart-- 
Just throw it all in there, it’s fine. 

[trust the moment] 
You’re making it look easy. 
[trust the moment] 
Just shake off that, easy. 
[trust the moment] 
I’m feelin’ so breezy. 

Free me of that bullshit. 

Your friends they seem to talk a lot. 
You know i’m not that type. 
Just put it in your shopping cart-- 
The world, it ain’t so easy. 

[trust the moment] 
You’re making it look easy. 
[trust the moment] 
Just shake off that, easy. 
[trust the moment] 
I’m feelin’ so breezy. 

Throw it in a shopping cart. 
Making your wish come true. 
Throw it in a shopping cart. 
Feeling like i’m closer to all the dreams of you. 

[trust the moment] x2 

Throw it in a shopping cart-- 
Making your wish come true. 
Throw it in a shopping cart-- 
feeling like i’m closer to all the dreams of you. 
Throw it in a shopping cart. 
Walking through aisles, and aisles, and aisles, and aisles, and miles, and miles, and miles, and miles,	denial.
