Music News - Yumi Zouma + Doprah Announce Co-Headline NZ Tour
10 April 2015 - 0 Comments
Yumi Zouma and Doprah are
touring New Zealand this May!
Yumi Zouma, the mysterious dream disco
group, with Doprah, the electronic noir “odd pop
export”, make the perfect match. Both set the blog gods a-frothing, have
made an international impression and were originally formed in the mighty
Christchurch!
When Yumi Zouma’s
debut EP broke on the internet, you could have been forgiven for not knowing
they were a New Zealand act to begin with. Started by close friends split
between NYC, Paris and Christchurch, producing music over Dropbox, and signed
to Brooklyn label Cascine
- they seemed to shy away from the attention most bands crave in their early
days.
And they had no intention of touring. That was, until the demand became too
much. With glowing reviews on Pitchfork,
a best new music mention on The
Guardian, they were lured into supporting Chet Faker for an
astonishingly long run of Australian dates, and attracted by the best festivals
of of the European summer circuit. Little could they have guessed that their
biggest shows would be in their own country, supporting Lorde at venues like
The Vector Arena.
In the last 18 months Doprah
have played, Laneway
Festival, Rhythm
& Vines, a handful of shows in New York at the CMJ Music Marathon
and more. Spin Magazine
called their impressive video for Stranger
People “a gauzy balance between the goth inclinations of fellow
Kiwi Lorde,
the noirish husk of Portishead,
and the curious mood-making of cloud-rap” and they were shunted to No.2 on the Billboard “Next Big
Sound” charts.
Two incredible stories for two new bands, and at just the beginning of
their output.
For this tour Yumi Zouma
are bringing their much-anticipated second EP to New Zealand, and Doprah are completing
their first full tour since their debut EP - all within an intimate
tour of smaller venues.
