Initially brought together for a Cleaners From Venus tribute album, Bay Area based Yea-Ming Chen (Yea-Ming and The Rumours) and Rob Good’s (The Goods) collaboration quickly flourished into a winning creative partnership, the first fruits of which being this tremendous single for Dandy Boy Records.
Combining Chen’s pop sensibilities with Good’s keen ear for an earworm hook, both the chiming, charming I Think I Need You Around and its softer, sadder counterpart When I Fall are warmly melodic treasures that draw you in deeply from the very first listen.
Rounded out by the propulsive rhythm section of Luke Robbins (Latitude/R.E. Seraphin) and lan McBrayer (Sonny and The Sunsets/Healing Potpourri), Ryli place their emphasis on beautifully crafted composition and full-hearted melody. It’s an irresistible combination that demands your immediate attention.
I Think I Need You Around/When I Fall is out now via Dandy Boy Records. You can order the 7” or digital download here.
