The Execution of All Things (Saddle Creek). Review by Aaron Shaul.
RILO KILEY THE EXECUTION OF ALL THINGS Saddle Creek Anyone remember that so-awful-it's-great Nintendo movie The Wizard that starred Fred Savage? Ever wonder what happened to Jenny Lewis, the girl who played little Freddie's love interest? Well, she spent 2002 recording one of the best indie rock albums ...

You may not expect that Rilo Kiley would be high on Jen Cray's list of must-see live bands, but after their recent takeover in Orlando they most definitely are up there!
RILO KILEY GRAND OLE PARTY, ART IN MANILA House of Blues, Orlando, Fl Oct. 2, 2007 by Jen Cray I expected Rilo Kiley to be good live, but I was not expecting them to be as good as they were. Then again, Jenny Lewis could sit in a chair and knit a scarf onstage and I'd be entertained (Ms. Lewis, you ...

Under the Blacklight (Warner Bros). Review by Jen Cray.
RILO KILEY UNDER THE BLACKLIGHT Warner Bros If ever there was a reason for an actress to become a musician, it was Jenny Lewis. After taking time out from her band (Rilo Kiley) to make an astonishingly perfect solo album (Rabbit Fur Coat), she has rejoined her boys to put out an album that will surely ...

Take Offs and Landings (Barsuk). Review by Marcel Feldmar.
RILO KILEY TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS Barsuk This CD begins so sad and so sweet, you just have to sit back and listen, smile, sigh. It's pop, no apologies made, but it's also definitely indie. The songwriting is straightforward and intelligent, and sometimes a little sarcastic, but it's a quick wit, catching ...

Golden Sun (Paper Trail). Review by Aaron Shaul.
... latest EP he helps cement the band's penchant for dark, languid and loose compositions within crystalline parameters. The closest touchstone here is Rilo Kiley and their spitfire take on Americana. Stephanie Devila's vocal delivery and diction are a spot-on approximation of Jenny Lewis, it's uncanny ...

BIIRDIE MORNING KILLS THE DARK Pop Up Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley set the precedent for '80s child stars reinventing themselves as indie rock stars, but now we've moved into a new level of quasi-nostalgic minutiae: celebrity siblings! That's right, Biirdie's Kala Savage is none other than sister to Kevin ...

If the Motion Picture Academy has learned one thing this year, it's that independent and low-budget films are generally better than the crap that Hollywood is now pumping out. So what can the Grammys learn from this? Tim Wardyn goes over the lesson plan.
... at independent records. The Oscars rightfully honored Crash and Good Night, Good Luck, why can't the Grammys honor Sufjan Stevens, Wolf Parade or Rilo Kiley? It's not only the right thing to do, but it would restore a little credibility back to what has become a popularity contest. Hopefully, somebody ...

Saddle Creek Compilation (Saddle Creek). Review by Troy Jewell.
... A&R and corporate goons, anyway? Well in any case, Saddle Creek has been able to capitalize on the strength of a couple of strong indie acts such as Rilo Kiley and Cursive. Naturally, both bands make an appearance on Saddle Creek 50, a two disc compilation which features eleven of the label's bands ...

You Know the Rules (Mint). Review by Aaron Shaul.
... verse melodies but explodes into exquisite four-part harmonies and an indelible stock pop riff on the chorus. On the flipside, "Robert Smith" builds Rilo Kiley-ian vistas on the verses until it hits the stilted, mechanized chorus. When the band does get into something good, they produce pretty spectacular ...
