Yea-Ming & the Rumours have quietly been working away from their home in Oakland, making folky retro-tinged pop for the past 8 years or so. Earlier this year, their second album So, Bird... came out on Lilystars Records. Yea-Ming Chen is a name you might know from San Francisco group Dreamdate who released some great records on labels like Tic Tac Totally. Her new backing band The Rumours also includes Anna Hillburg from her old group. The new LP consists of 10 new tracks and a Japanese folk song.
