When Yea-Ming Chen (Yea-Ming and The Rumours<\/a>) and Rob Good (The Goods<\/a>) met up to record a cover for Dandy Boy’s Cleaners From Venus tribute album, they ended up birthing something entirely their own. Add Luke Robbins (ex-Latitude, RE Seraphin) and Ian McBrayer (ex-Sonny and The Sunsets, ex-Healing Potpourri) to the mix, and Ryli emerges as a kind of Bay Area dream team.<\/p>\n

Their first release meets and exceeds expectations. This is West Coast indie pop that holds the middle ground between Camera Obscura and (early) Best Coast. Chen’s gentle and gorgeous vocals complement Good’s shimmering and jangly guitar work perfectly, combining for a sound that’s warm and nostalgic, but fresh and timeless rather than dusty or musty. Both I Think I Need You Around<\/em> and When I Fall<\/em> fit the double A-side label Dandy Boy Records have given this 7″ release-the former a perfect pop hit, the latter a hazy, contemplative gem.<\/p>\n

Here’s to hoping this new musical collaboration gets many sequels!<\/p>\n
