Yumi Zouma have shared “Astral Projection,” the latest single off their forthcoming full-length release Present Tense. The track is joined by music videos directed by filmmaker Alex Ross Perry (Pavement, Soccer Mommy, Vivian Girls, Sleigh Bells), premiering today via YouTube; the full trilogy – which also includes “In The Eyes Of Our Love” and “Where The Light Used To Lay” – had its world premiere earlier this week as part of Brooklyn, NY’s Nitehawk Shorts Festival 2022

“’When I let it come for me / I feel free’” – Astral Projection is about leaning into bad feelings and the mixed results it brings, says singer/keyboardist Christie Simpson. “Learning to sit with the reality of a relationship not working out as you hoped. Looking towards the future and knowing there will be others, there will be better times, but sitting in the present moment, trying to make peace with that. ‘Hold me in your arms / I know this wouldn’t last / I know I shouldn’t feel safe, but I do.’”
