    Willowbank is utterly charming, shimmering and another step in Yumi Zouma’s quietly fascinating evolution.

    Willowbank is the great return, the band finally comfortable as a band, heading back to record the follow-up to last year's Yoncalla.

    Willowbank is a mature album of exquisite beauty that confirms Yumi Zouma as masters of musical storytelling.

    The sense of place that Yumi Zouma finally seems to have found on Willowbank brings an album that’s bristling with energy, albeit one that does feel overstuffed. And yet, even in the face of that, it’s hard not to be swept away by Willowbank.

    The only time they stumble is when they get a little heavy, like on "Half Hour," where some of the musical choices overpower Simpson's tender vocals. It's a minor quibble that's easy to overlook, and it doesn't make the album any less enjoyable overall.
