Rilo Kileys audiences have a strong tendency to fall in love on the spot. Perhaps its their beaming faces or laid-back, admirable West Coast attitudes. Or maybe its just their uncanny knack for designing nuanced pop songs and performing them with flair. Maybe its lead singers Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennets adorable onstage banter and scissors-sharp wit. Whatever that little something extra is, Los Angeles, CAs Rilo Kiley has it times ten.
Eclectic electric twang meets masterful songwriting on The Execution of All Things, Rilo Kileys second full-length album. Take Offs and Landings, their 2001 debut on Seattles infamous Barsuk label, was met with adoration from critics and audiences alike. With Liz Phair narrative sensibility, Bettie Serveert compositional beauty, and Beachwood Sparks sunshine, Rilo Kileys latest is a lyrically dense treasure that will have you searching for the story behind the evocative songs. In a word sweeet.
