Hey guys, round three of album reviews! This time we'll be reviewing Rilo Kiley's fourth album, Under the Blacklight.
This album is very different from the previous albums I have reviewed because there really isn't a set genre that I can classify this under. Rilo Kiley is a four-member outfit that features vocalist Jenny Lewis. Lewis is much more authentic than most modern female artists, as she doesn't use auto tune. Her vocals are pure and sweet, but can become grating after a short period of time.
The backing instruments are great. They have this fantastic jazz/country sound to them, and the melodies are simple and nice, but easily forgotten.
Overall, I'm not such a huge fan of this genre, but I think it's very interesting and fresh.
Please leave some comments on what albums you'd like to see discussed next week. Also please check out our sister blog vinylezine.blogspot.com for some hilarious footage of the Aux Cable team singing "Friday" by Rebecca Black.
