Is Yumi Zouma TOO pure?

Yumi Zouma is a buzzband from New Zealand. They are very vibey. It makes me wonder ‘are vibes scalable?’ These vibes are about as pure as they come, but maybe music this vibey is something that only a limited section of auths can truly appreciate. Otherwise, it just becomes background retail-wave music.

Is it scalable? I think p4k only ‘posted’ their songs 2x in 2014, but their soundcloud playcount is ~250k. Youtube views are modest, ~50k on their highest viewed video.

WHERE DOES NEW, KEWL MUSIC LIVE ON THE INTERNET?
Soundcloud?
Bandcamp?
Fringe Youtube?
Napster/Kazaa?
Not in the cloud?

do u evr just wish u were from a Land of Vibes [via New Zealand]? I think that’s where the Lord of the Rings bro Peter Jackson is from. Seems like they have an imagination. I heard that Yumi Zouma ‘opened 4 Lorde’ or something, so that is sorta nauth, but at the same time, maybe it was just ‘doing a solid’ 4 a NZ_auklandwave bro.

But srsly… Do they have a song that ‘sux’ completely? Feels like all the vibes are pretty soothing. Maybe if u don’t ‘get’ vibe-driven aural_wave music, it’s not 4 u.

Might be ‘too keutsy’ at times [via putting on mixtape 4 entry-level indie girl to forget about who is more drawn to ‘accessible’ Grimes/Purity Ring bullshit though]

Is this pure 2 u?

    So do they get a prize for being the 100th vaguely spacey, tedious and derivative electro-pop band with some instagram shit on their album cover, hailed as “the next big thing” by some relevant kewl dad?

    Dear son,

    Losers hide on the Internet
    Like batman minus the toys and cool factor
    See them irl and they barely speak at all
    They wait for you to make a move
    Or attempt to entrap you, which of course blows up like a box of shit in the trolls face…,
    Time
    After time

    So many wasted wks
    Why I needed a vacation from Maui is beyond me!!!!!

    U look like a real asshole these days ️
    Kid

    Dads real disappointed
    At this point
    I gotta say no to you moving back home

    Enjoy ur milestone bday

    sry bb but ‘pure’ music is the nauthest music in the buzzosphere, ‘pure’ was ok a few years back but now, you know that is just about aestethics. form is not substance crls bb.
