RUMINA are a Manchester-based duo whose music explores elements of indie rock, indie folk and dream pop with an electronica influence. Their debut EP, 'Botanica', released on the 4th of June 2021, exhibits a strong identity in its use of texture and song structure. Vocalist and instrumentalist, Lu provides intimate and haunting performances that blur the line between serenity and anxiety, whilst the instrumentation accompanies them with intricate detailing from guitars, pianos, and synthesisers. RUMINA creates music that builds on both band member’s unique styles and inspirations, creating ethereal tracks that build a musical momentum that is captivating, if not hypnotic. With themes of mental health, identity and growth, RUMINA’s music is intensely intimate and becomes increasingly so as the band continue to grow together, both as people and as musicians. Their upcoming releases feature heavy layers of guitar and building bass-lines above electrocuting percussion, emotionally textured beds of saxophone that add emotion, and piercing vocals that add an intense otherworldliness.
