Yoome is a collaborative project of Chicago rapper Serengeti, New Zealand indie-folk princess Renee Louise Carafice, and Chicago producer Tony Trimm. Through a sardonic, lo-fi approach, Yoome delivers irresistibly sweet and sour morsels of indie-pop gems on their debut The Boredom of Me (Audio 8, 2008).
Seductively interpersonal and introspective; Serengeti, Carafice, and Trimm combine their artistry to head in a direction each musician has never wandered alone. Throughout their first effort, hypnotic, free-associated refrains, confessions and recollections make for intriguing tension. The vocals are anchored by Tony Trimm's wistful production, adding enveloping layers of melodramatic sentimentality and driving midi rhythms. Look for their video and behind the scenes footage on youtube.
