Yumi Zouma | Willowbank
Cascine | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes
According to Liz Itkowsky: “The follow-up to their acclaimed debut album Yoncalla (2016), Willowbank is packed with twee dream pop that is mature beyond its years....Though most tracks are exercises in heartbreak, or at the very least dissatisfaction, Willowbank is relentlessly charming. Disco percussions keep things upbeat and grooving along, while Simpson’s dreamy vocals swirl around like a warm breeze. Overall, it’s a cozy album; the product of a band comfortable in their surroundings, enjoying the holiday season with loved ones. Yumi Zouma’s New Zealand homecoming in December 2016 seems to have enabled the creation of something confident in its simplicity, undeniably listenable, and indicative of a young band that has hit their stride.”
