Paris-based Yumi Jun releases her debut EP, *a fading diary*, featuring five tracks. Though brief in length, it neatly gathers a series of fragments about disappearance, attachment, and memory.
The EP is a typical example of soft shoegaze: guitar distortion is kept within a gentle range, the vocals remain close to the foreground, and the melodic lines are clear, while ambient and dream pop provide ample space. Rather than relying on a dense wall of sound, the EP builds its emotions through subtle shifts in tone and recurring melodies.
“falling,” “under the weeping willow,” and “as the snow fades my name” together sustain a quiet, damp atmosphere, revealing Yumi Jun’s lighter and more restrained side among the new generation of shoegaze bands.
