The skinny on the newest albums
Mellow out to the soft rock sounds of Los Angeles-based alternative/indie rock band Rilo Kiley's new album Under the Blacklight.
The band is fronted by two former child actors, Jenny Lewis (Troop Beverly Hills, The Wizard) and Blake Sennett (Salute Your Shorts, Boy Meets World), along with Pierre de Reeder and Jason Boesel.
Although they're not as well known as bands like Maroon 5 or Bon Jovi, their music has been featured in several movies and television shows including Dawson's Creek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The O.C. and Grey's Anatomy.
Rilo Kiley is like a 21st century version of 70s band Blondie. Vocalist Jenny Lewis has a mesmerizing and commanding voice that draws you in as soon as she opens her mouth.
Every track on the album has something different to offer.
