New Zealand’s Yumi Zouma are scheduled to drop their fourth LP Present Tense on March 18th via the Polyvinyl label. The upcoming record follows their 2020 album Truth or Consequences.

To coincide with the announcement, Yumi Zouma have also shared the official video to their latest single ‘In The Eyes Of Our Love’. Directed by Alex Ross Perry, the visuals feature three women who open an unlocked to door to a world that seems to create an altered state of mind. With the women experiencing euphoric as well as shocking feelings, they eventually find their way out of the room, stuck in a place of wonder.

In regards to the track, Yumi Zouma’s Charlie Ryder said:

“Recorded at 204bpm, ‘In The Eyes Of Our Love’ is a rip-roaring belter of a track and the fastest song we’ve ever written. What started out as an homage to Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift ended up as a love song set against a backdrop of torture and insurrection stoked by the Nixon administration, so if you like songs with two bridges and strong socialist leanings, then ‘In The Eyes Of Our Love’ could be the track for you!”

Touching on the video, Alex Ross Perry stated:

“Agreeing to make three interconnected videos was something I should have thought about for longer than 15 seconds before agreeing to it. The anxiety of conceptualizing a small story, that can be told without dialogue, and set to music, gripped me from the moment my video call with the band ended. Their thoughts were excellent, specific, and unachievable with the time and resources I would be able to pull together. But I began to feel inspired by the concept of taking these vast ideas and situating them within a single location, transforming the aesthetic, visuals and mood to match the three different songs. My only chance for success was to rely heavily on a great cast and crew to create these spaces and film them in a way that felt consistently alive and unique. Fortunately for me, they all over delivered.”
