Debut Full-Length on 160g Vinyl Double LP!
Take Offs and Landings is Rilo Kiley's debut full-length album, originally released in 2001 under the vanity label "Rilo Records," then shortly thereafter on the independent label Barsuk Records. Of Rilo Kiley's albums, Take Offs and Landings contains the most songs sung by band member Blake Sennett, who sings lead on "August," "Small Figures In A Vast Expanse," "Rest of My Life," and a hidden track. Jenny Lewis sings lead on the other tracks, except for two "Variations on a Theme" tracks, which are instrumental.
"With a sound that veers from the acoustic simplicity and poetic lyricism of coffeehouse folk to the bouncy, lo-fi infectiousness of D.I.Y. indie pop, this California quartet writes melodies so damn catchy, you might almost think you've heard them before...the band's most distinctive asset -- the sweet vocals and bittersweet lyrics of Jenny Lewis." -Bret Love, allmusic.com
