YUMI AND THE WEATHER IT'S ALL IN MY HEAD

Yumi And The Weather have dropped a chaotic new tune in the form of ‘It’s All In My Head’. Aggressive metal riffs and powerful drums kick off the ear-catching track, before a gritty mixture of punky attitude and detuned fuzz guide us through the verses. The Brighton-based multi-instrumentalist has created a piece of music with layers, as behind the mezmerising cacophony of sound comes a meaningful story. “I was sectioned numerous times for psychosis since 2013, and I wrote this one time after coming out of hospital. I experienced many delusional thoughts due to sleep deprivation, and I thought I could communicate with people telepathically. I didn't sleep as I thought my powers of telepathy would disappear if I did — would YOU sleep if you thought you were speaking to Stephen Fry? I don’t think so! This song was inspired by these late night conversations with my telepathy buddies, and the intense feelings and emotions during these episodes.” Make sure to check her out live in the UK this summer. -Dan Peeke
