“Right Track / Wrong Man” is another refinement on the subtle shimmer they’ve been executing consistently since 2014.” – Stereogum“This is timeless, hopelessly romantic dream-pop.” – Gorilla vs Bear“gut-smacking synth-pop” – Pitchfork“Their first single on Polyvinyl, “Right Track / Wrong Man,” is another diaphanous triumph, synths bubbling as Burgess and Simpson’s feathery voices intertwine.” – Paste Magazine“For all its light atmosphere, Yumi Zouma’s pop music is romantically,wistfully dense.” – NPR“These New Zealanders conquered dream-pop via email, and they’ll slay your beach playlist too.” – FADER

Hailing from New Zealand, critically acclaimed alternative pop band Yumi Zouma will release new album Truth or Consequences this Friday, March 13 on Polyvinyl Record Co. Set against a vintage landscape, the band’s music provides a calming atmosphere settling the anxieties of even the most troubled souls. Dreamy album singles “Cool For A Second,” “Southwark” and “Right Track / Wrong Man” garnered accolades from Consequence of Sound, Gorilla vs Bear, NPR, Earmilk, FADER, MTV, NYLON, Paste Magazine, Stereogum and Under The Radar. Originally formed in New Zealand, the members of Yumi Zouma now come together from around the globe: New York City (Josh Burgess – guitar, vocals), London (Charlie Ryder – guitar, bass, keys), Christchurch, New Zealand (Christie Simpson – vocals, keys) and Wellington, New Zealand (Olivia Campion – drums).
Distance can also manifest metaphorically, and it’s in these figurative chasms that Truth or Consequences, Yumi Zouma’s third album and first for Polyvinyl, finds it’s narrative: romantic and platonic heartbreak, real and imagined emotional distance, disillusionment, and being out of reach. Produced by the band and mixed by engineer Jake Aron (Solange, Grizzly Bear, Snail Mail), it is a collection that embodies contemplation, duality and hard truths wrapped in soft aesthetic; a unified body of melody that connects the spaces in between.
The band will kick off a US Tour on March 12 in D.C with stops including NYC, Los Angeles and Treefort Music Fest.
