Featured in Michael Fremer's Heavy Rotation in the April 2009 Issue of Stereophile!
Femme fatale Jenny Lewis has never sounded so passionate and her songs never so hard-hitting and acerbic as on her aptly titled solo disk Acid Tongue. The album follows 2006s Rabbit Fur Coat (which Spin named among the best albums of that year) and a series of acclaimed albums with indie rock fave Rilo Kiley. Featuring collaborations with A Band Called She & Him and guest appearances by Elvis Costello and Chris Robinson, of The Black Crowes, Acid Tongue proves to be wicked good.
As a founding member of Rilo Kiley, Lewis debuted with 2001s Take-Offs And Landings, followed by 2002s The Execution Of All Things. She also contributed vocals to The Postal Services Give Up album and toured with that band. In 2004, Rilo Kileys More Adventurous prompted opening for Bright Eyes (Oberst) on the international leg of his Im Wide Awake, Its Morning tour and Coldplays arena tour. For Rabbit Fur Coat, Lewis toured with the Watson Twins. 2007s Under The Blacklight became the groups best-selling and highest-charting album, cracking the Pop Top 25.
