Seraphin, Yea-Ming and the Rumours instagram.com/rylitheband powerpop 37 Houses 37houses.com Britpop Neva Dinova -from Omaha, NE -Neva Dinova is hitting the west coast in December in support of their new record, (the first in 16 years) which will be out on Sept 27th on Saddle Creek. The band features members of Cursive and The Good Life, and they recently came off a successful run supporting a few Bright Eyes underplays. Ryli -from Oakland, CA -Ryli is the latest project from Yea-Ming Chen (Yea-Ming and The Rumours) and Rob Good (The Goods). Joined by the propulsive rhythm section of Luke Robbins (ex-Latitude, RE Seraphin) on bass and Ian McBrayer (ex-Sonny and The Sunsets, ex-Healing Potpourri) on drums, the band pairs Chen’s intimate songwriting and dulcet vocal stylings with Good’s effervescent arrangements, replete with sparkling guitars and dreamy harmonies. Initially brought together by Dandy Boy Records to record a Cleaners From Venus cover, Chen and Good quickly bonded over their mutual appreciation of classic pop songs and formed an immediate musical kinship. Inspired by their spontaneous connection, the pair ended up writing an original song during the session. Soon after, they were joined by Robbins and McBrayer, and Ryli was officially born. Their debut single “I Think I Need You Around” b/w “When I Fall” is a succinct distillation of their unique indie pop sound. A-side “I Think I Need You Around” is kinetic jangle rock with gentle vocals reminiscent of Camera Obscura. A good old-fashioned tale of lust and longing, it’s lifted by bright guitar arpeggios and desperate harmonies. “When I Fall,” on the other hand, is a woozy, Spector-esque ballad, capturing that late-night feeling of uncertainty as you trudge home after last call. Taking their moniker from the first initial of each member, Ryli doesn’t overthink their presentation, instead focusing on crafting endearing melodies. And this single - two perfect pop songs clocking in at a breezy six minutes - wastes no time in establishing their substance-over-style approach. releases November 22, 2024 Rob Good (lead guitar/vocals) Yea-Ming Chen (guitar/vocals) Luke Robbins (bass/vocals) Ian McBrayer (drums/vocals) Art by Jen Weisberg 37 Houses -from San Francisco, CA -37 Houses is an indie pop project that functions as guitarist Jeremy Rosenblum's journal to process the feelings that come out of being an imperfect human married to another imperfect human. Inspired by artists like Built to Spill and Pulp, singer Erin Sydney infuses powerful vocals into the poetically pedestrian lyrics and music written by her husband. |
