Yumi Zouma have shared "Where The Light Used To Lay," the latest single from their eagerly awaited new album, Present Tense, out March 18. The poignant track arrives alongside the second in a mesmerizing trilogy of official music videos directed by filmmaker Alex Ross Perry, premiering today on BlackBook.  “‘Where The Light Used To Lay’ eventually revealed itself as a bittersweet song about the agony of detangling your life as you break up and the enticing future, clarity, and lightness that the end of the tunnel can offer,” says co-founder/multi-instrumentalist Josh Burgess. 

“When we first started writing the song in 2019, we were all in long-term relationships. By the time the final mix was completed in the Fall of 2021, only one of those remained (thanks, COVID). It’s funny how songs can end up revealing themselves in surprising ways, even to their writers. It’s equal parts confronting and calming knowing that the subconscious starts processing long before the conscious comes to it. Regardless, it’s nice to have a moment with a song where you go ‘damn, ain’t that the truth.’” Watch below. 

Present Tense, the New Zealand-born band’s fourth studio album, is preceded by rousing singles "In The Eyes Of Our Love," "Give It Hell", and "Mona Lisa". Pre-order a limited edition Early Bird vinyl on Ivory Rose and catch the zoomies touring the great wide world this spring - tickets onsale now.
