    Yumi Zouma doesn’t come forth with the most original sound in indie pop, but there is certainly something to be said for consistency. On its third album, the band once again brings a blissful sound, danceable grooves, and an exceedingly catchy tracklist. It may not be a novel reinvention of the band, but Truth or Consequences hits the right notes and Yumi Zouma feels as tight as ever.

    While the songs on Truth or Consequences generally fall into your basic catchy pop-rock template, there are a few stylistic curveballs.

    There's still plenty of mileage left on their sound, and as long as they keep making records as sweet, cozy, and melodically engaging as Truth or Consequences, Yumi Zouma can keep going for quite a while with minimal depreciation.

    Even when an experiment comes up short, mistakes and failed attempts allow us to see others as the messy, raw, difficult humans we know ourselves to be. Truth or Consequences is more like a Valentine’s Day card—pleasantly sentimental, at times gratifying, and all too easy to forget.
