Best of 2007, number 4
Blake and Jenny, originally uploaded by socialwhore..
Rilo Kiley - Under the Blacklight. I wasn't a big fan of earlier Rilo Kiley stuff, but as many people note, they turned poppier on this record, and it caught my ear. Of course, it upset many of their long-time fans in the process. Co-frontpeople Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett dated, then broke up. In a very No Doubtish turn, Lewis has basically taken over leadership of the band, as Sennett sings lead on only one song on this CD. The album rides Lewis' vocals to pop-rock heaven, mixing in a little 70's here, a little 80's there.
