I keep forgetting about Oakland, California’s Ryli and then when I listen to their debut album Come And Get Me (released last June on Dandy Boy Records) again I remember how good the four-piece really is. I Think I Need You Around, which had previously been released as a single in 2024, is my favourite song from the album. The perfect pop reminds a bit of Camera Obscura, as if that band had grown up next to the San Francisco Bay rather than the river Clyde. If they keep putting out songs like this, I do really need Ryli around.
