Rilo Kiley's "Under The Blacklight"

Artist:

Album:
To be honest, the success of Rilo Kiley has been pretty bewildering to me up 'til now. Much as I liked Jenny Lewis' country solo album, "Rabbit Fur Coat", I never grasped the appeal of her band. For all her likeable LA snarkiness, their music always sounded like a grey jangle; as if the American mainstream had embraced, what, The Sundays maybe, as the future of music. Quite strange, but in quite a dull way.For the past couple of weeks, though, I've been hammering their new album, "Under The Blacklight", and now I understand. Not that, unless my memory is playing tricks on me, "Under The Blacklight" sounds much like Rilo Kiley's previous records. Instead, it's a bright, wry confection that resembles a clever indie kid's fantasy of LA pop music.This is my first post here, so please bear with me while I get the hang of Mog. I've written plenty more about this Rilo Kiley album on my blog over at "Uncut":http://www.uncut.co.uk/blog/index.php?blog=6&title
