Jenny Lewis is a singer and a songwriter from Los Angeles, California.
She's got hair the color of a Pacific sunset, a voice as sweet as an
ice cream cone, and a wit sharper than a razorblade. Most days (and nights)
you can find Jenny Lewis singing and playing with Rilo Kiley,
a glorious quartet whose third album, 2004's More Adventurous,
has charmed and delighted fans and peers worldwide. 2005 alone saw Rilo Kiley
garner accolades from heroes (Elvis Costello), magazine covers by the fistful,
and a spot opening for Coldplay on their recent sold-out arena tour.



But in the tiny moments between the stage and the studio,
after the photo shoots but before the bars, Jenny spends time by herself,
daydreaming and strumming on her acoustic guitar. And the sound of that
time alone is Rabbit Fur Coat, Jenny's first solo album and one of the
most bewitching and intoxicating discs of music you've heard in years.

"There's a need to keep writing even after you finish a record," says Jenny
about the downtime that followed the occasionally tumultuous recording of
More Adventurous, "but it's taken me some years to feel confident writing alone.

Now I realize the privacy behooves my songwriting. I was more relaxed and
worked on these songs at my leisure." Still, even with a bevy of "private"
songs cluttering up the corners of her brain ("they were slightly more sedate,
more word-focused"), Jenny had no plans to release or even record the lot of them.
It took a Bright Eye-d friend to convince her otherwise. "I didn't even consider
making a solo record until Conor [Oberst] asked me a couple of years ago," she laughs.

"He said he was starting a label, Team Love,
and he’d love for me to make a record for it."

In keeping with the loose origins of the project, recording was also a
catch-as-catch-can affair, done in between press and performance obligations
for Rilo Kiley. After laying down a number of songs with old friend and
co-conspirator Mike Mogis in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles,
Jenny flew herself to Portland to work with M.Ward, a collaboration that bore
instant fruit.

"When I flew to Portland all I had of "Happy" was a verse," she explains. "
As soon as I got there Matt came over to my hotel room and I played it for him
and it just sort of happened – the chorus just came out.
The whole process was quick and casual."

Modeled after the great "white soul" classics of the past - particularly Laura
Nyro and Labelle's seminal Gonna Take a Miracle – Rabbit Fur Coat finds Jenny
reaching out to her farflung assortment of wildly talented friends
(including co-producer M.Ward, Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard, Maroon 5's
James Valentine and Mickey Madden, and label boss Oberst) while simultaneously
coming into her own as an individual performer and storyteller.

"That album was always in the back of my mind: if I could just make something
that captured the feeling of that record." Enter the Watson Twins, a set of
Kentucky-born sisters with an other-wordly gift to harmonize. "I met the girls
through Blake in L.A.," she explains. "I'm just so impressed with their instincts
as singers and their relationship to my songs. They were very serious about them."
