Stereo Embers: The Podcast

"De-bubbling In London” Look, New Zealand is not a large country—everyone seems to know everyone else (or even dated them). Yumi Zouma singer Christie Simpson decided that the best thing for her to do is escape the bubble of her hometown of Christchurch and head for London. In this conversation Simpson talks about leaving her country behind, creative life amidst the Coronavirus and how an outsider becomes an individual. Simpson tells Alex about growing up loving Fleetwood Mac, how a band that’s not in the same locale stays together and how her parents recognized early on that she was headed towards a life in art. Yumi Zouma have just put out their third album Truth Or Consequences and it’s a spry and charming effort that’s lustrous, clever and catchy.
