Yama Uba

Yama Uba is a darkwave and melodic post-punk project founded by Akiko Sampson that draws inspiration from the golden era of 80’s music. Emerging from the liminal space between 80's movie soundtracks and fever dreams, Yama Uba's music feels at once achingly familiar and strikingly new. Through emotive vocals, shimmering guitars, bellowing saxophone, and danceworthy beats, Yama Uba reaches into the depths of human experience and brings to light the range of emotion that makes us whole.

"This Oakland duo's darkwave is as melodically potent as it is texturally rich." – Bandcamp.
