Nous sommes fiers de présenter UMA LAND, le 12ᵉ album de nos amis de Tokyo les Zoobombs. Le vinyle est une co-parution entre les labels P572 (Canada), ZBONS-SYA (Japon) et OUCH! (France). 11 nouvelles chansons de rock psychédélique, intenses et émouvantes. Un peu comme si Keith Richards et Miles Davis avaient composé ensemble un album en japonais.

ZOOBOMBS was formed in 1994 and quickly became one of Japan’s most explosive live acts. Following their 1997 debut album, they were invited to perform at the very first Fuji Rock Festival. The following year, they began touring overseas in Canada, Australia and the U.S.A. Led by the visionary Don Matsuo (vocals, guitar) and Matta (keyboards, art), the band has seen several lineup changes over the years. After a hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Zoobombs relaunched with a fresh lineup featuring Reo Saigusa on bass and Gak Ouchi (Hedigans, Glimps Group) on drums.

To celebrate their 30th anniversary in 2024, the band released a greatest hits album on Canadian label P572. Since their comeback, Zoobombs have toured extensively across Japan, completed a Canadian tour in fall 2024 and performed in Australia in spring 2025. Their first new album in nine years, UMA LAND, drops digitally on November 5th, with CD and vinyl editions to follow. An endless Japan tour and their first European shows are already planned, proving once again that Zoobombs remain unstoppable.
