The cover of Yumi Zouma’s debut, self-titled EP is a serene headshot of a feathered-hair woman filtered through a nostalgic lens redolent of the 1980s, and EP cut “The Brae” shares the same derivation as its visual appendage — an effortless cascade of echoing riffs and enchanting harmonies converging into a mirage of dream-pop purity. A sense of cadence smoothes the edges, which intensifies a mouthful blow of a line such as “Threw me and you screw me and you fed me to the fishes.” The fluidity of "The Brae" is impressive considering that the band no longer resides in their home of New Zealand, instead collaborating electronically between New York and Paris and resulting in a throwback serenade.
