10 x 4 – UMA
# 10 x 4 – UMA If you read our weekly column [Videodrome][1] regularly, you've probably come across **UMA**'s new video for 'Wild At Heart'. It's from their first EP *Drop your Soul* and is worth checking again. Go on, do it. It's a great piece of art, self-directed by **Ella **and **Florian Zwietnig**, the married couple behind UMA. Right now they're spending two weeks in Carinthia, Austria, working on their debut album which is scheduled for early 2012 and available on **Seayou Records** (as is Drop your Soul). We met Ella last weekend during a quick stop in Vienna to throw a few questions from our 10 x 4 interview series at her. Oh, and in case you're wondering what her favorite song from **Channel Orange** might be, it's 'Bad Religion.' **1. If you were still in high school, which clique would you belong to?** I'd be probably part of the reading group that eventually goes to concerts to get drunk secretly and then make out with each other. **2. What goes in your coffee?** Soy milk. **3. What defines your music-making process?** Lots of sleep during the night, then during the daytime I whirl around books and song sketches and try to not get too confused. Then some swimming, and then sleep again **4.Tell us what you think of this song** It's alright, not my favourite on the album though! **5. Name three essential artists.** At the moment it's writers for me: Ingeborg Bachmann, Thomas Bernhard, Gertrude Stein **6. Indispensable outfit?** My black leather Detroit baseball cap **7. A film or book that greatly influenced your music?** Twin Peaks **8. Your current favorite song?** Liars -- 'No. 1 Against the Rush'. **9. Raging or chilling out?** Chill! **10. Together, or alone?** Together and alone I guess. [1]: http://www.electronicbeats.net/music/features/videodrome-60-this-weeks-best-videos
