Yea-Ming and the Rumours – Paper Doll

Yea-Ming and the Rumours - Residue

I am of the opinion that Yo La Tengo, a pretty fine band in general, would be better if they had Georgia Hubley sing more songs. It’s those more laid back indie songs with female vocals that Yea-Ming and the Rumours reminds me of. The Oakland quartet around singer Yea-Ming Chen (she also sings in Ryli) will release its next album, Residue, in June on local Dandy Boy Records; this lovely Paper Doll, with a subtle country twang, has been released digitally as a teaser to keep us busy and patient.
