Rilo Kiley’s previous record “Under The Blacklight,” didn’t quite deliver, not at its exceptions anyway. Sure, it had it’s moments, but they were more then shadowed by some lameass tracks like Smoke Detector or Money Maker. Anyway, Jenny’s still dear to me, no matter what crap she puts out. She’s like a button too. Her solo debut, featuring The Watson Twins, was pretty good. No, scratch that, it was quite awesome, even though it sounded…
It was the year 2001 and [tag]Rilo Kiley[/tag] were just making their debut into the indie mainstream with their own lovely Take-Offs and Landings. One of the stand out track was “Wires and Waves,” a heartbreaking now conventional Rilo Kiley anthem, that was also picked for a music video as well. But when you film a video with planes and sing lines like “sometimes planes they smash up in the sky,” right after the 9/11…

After the explicit Moneymaker video, it’s time for [tag]Rilo Kiley[/tag]’s next single, Silver Lining, to get a video. This time the indie quartet turned to Autumn de Wilde, a very talented photographer turned video director, with whom singer Jenny Lewis has worked before on her solo album photo cover. The video’s plot is a wedding ceremony, in which Jenny’s is the bride and Blake Sennett, lead guitarist, the groom. In the begging of the video…
This last few weeks have been a bit poor in new releases, in both quantity and quality, but this week it’s different, as a swarm of great new records will hit your music store this week. “Kala” from [tag]M.I.A[/tag], “Under The Blacklight” from [tag]Rilo Kiley[/tag], “Challangers” from [tag]New Pornographers[/tag] or “Andorra” from [tag]Caribou [/tag] are just a few of the great albums to gracefully land in your iPod. Caribou:
After we were endorsed with a few teasers from [tag]Rilo Kiley[/tag]’s new record Under The Blacklight, like The Moneymaker and Silver Lining, it’s now time for the real thing. The band has posted the whole album on their MySpace and is now available for streaming. I’ve listened to it a few times so far, and it’s a so so record, with a few great tracks (“Silver Lining”, “Dreamworld”), but some terrible ones as well (“Smoke…
Here’s another peek on [tag]Rilo Kiley[/tag]’s upcoming forth album “Under The Blacklight”, a very promising LP from what I’ve had the chance to sample. “Silver Lining” is the title of the second track, after the extremely sexy “Moneymaker”, that Rilo Kiley has been gracious enough to share with ous, before the release of the sexiest album ever (?), on August 20. The song is loads of fun and extremely catchy, with ’60 feel and beat…
The LA indie quintet [tag]Rilo Kiley[/tag] have finished recordings for their full length album called “Under The Blacklight”, due in August 20 and now they’ve started to shed some light in the obscurity of this new LP. I really liked their last 2004 release “More Adventurous”, so i was pretty much glad when is saw NME’s post, where they asked Rilo Kiley about this upcoming album’s sound. When asked Jenny Lewis and guitarist Blake Sennett…
OK … here’s an “interesting” video for you guys from Rilo Kiley called “The Moneymaker”, from their upcoming forth album “Under the Blacklight” (due Auguts 21). The video is centered around a porn shop, with Rilo Kiley frontwoman Jenny Lewis singing a blues style melody, with a squitchy guitar on the background, while explicit erotic scenes unfold. If you have the patience to listen to the 10 minute intro, featuring some porn stars interviews then…
