Surprise Cast #133 RYLI

Did you know that San Francisco is going through a massive indie/jangle pop resurgence? In this fun episode, we peek inside the world of the indie band, Ryli, featuring Rob, Yea-Ming, Luke, and Ian. 

Yea-Ming shares about the band's origins, revealing how a suggestion from Bobby Martinez at Dandy Boy Records inspired them to embrace the Mazzy Star sound, which eventually led to the formation of Ryli. The band members reflect on their diverse musical influences, the merging of their backgrounds, and their excitement for their upcoming record in 2025. So exciting!

Throughout the episode, the members highlight the importance of creativity, collaboration, and remaining true to their artistic vision. They discuss the challenges of balancing multiple musical projects and how their joint experiences enrich Ryli's music. We also explore thoughtful themes of vulnerability, criticism, and authenticity that punctuate their journey. 

The episode also covers the band's creative process, insights into their songwriting, and the making of their catchy track and video "I Think I Need You Around." The insightful dialogue touches on how the band navigates the music industry landscape, deals with social media, and the excitement of bringing their disciplined sound from studio to stage.

Listeners are left with a great taste of Ryli's philosophical approach to music, glimpses into their dynamic and lovable camaraderie, and a forward-looking anticipation of their soon-to-be-released album. With a breath of great experience and ears for melodies and hooks, it's easy to understand why they'll be a big contributor to the indie scene that's truly thriving in the Bay Area.
