General comments:

Band is also known as Kumasound.

Kuma were a Seattle-based electronic pop (dance? house?) band fronted by Bre Loughlin. The backing sounds were interesting and well-constructed, drawing on a wide veriety of musical genres. It's a surprise this band didn't go farther. (Neile)

Recommended first album:

That Moment of Silence Before a Disaster, though I have only heard a couple of tracks from their only full-length release, Fast Colliding. (Neile)

good groovy stuff. (damon)

This EP really doesn't do that much for me. We bought it on the strength of That Moment of Silence Before a Disaster, but I really prefer that one, as this doesn't come into focus enough for me. (Neile)
