Ryli combines dreamy vocals, chiming guitars, and propulsive rhythms to create a sun-soaked sound that is both fresh and immediate, yet comfortingly lived-in, recalling the melodic moodiness of Camera Obscura, The Smiths, and Mazzy Star. Led by vocalist Yea-Ming Chen (Yea-Ming and The Rumours) and guitarist Rob Good (The Goods), and buoyed by the rhythm section of Luke Robbins (R.E. Seraphin) and Ian McBrayer (ex-Healing Potpourri), the band is a veritable rogue's gallery of Bay Area indie stalwarts that has earned a reputation as a formidable act both live and in the studio. Achieving a high-wire balance in the pairing of Chen's heartfelt, confessional lyrics, Good's sparkling production, and the band's nervy, post-punk-inflected energy, Ryli's debut LP Come and Get Me showcases a group at the top of its pop-game.
