It’s no surprise to see the charismatic loungy indie quartet, Yuma, atop the readers poll for ‘Best Emerging Indie Rock Artist of 2016’. Technically proficient but structurally unfettered, Yuma curates a refreshing dynamic of psychedlic-infused prog rock. The real lure of the group are their live performances which demand a no-gimmick focus on their melodies and choruses yet allows the listener to dance and lose themselves in the band’s intrinsic joviality. Yuma’s momentum continues to snowball, and 2017 should hold a myriad new milestones.
