Rilo Kiley - 《Under The Blacklight》


成立於1998年,來自美國洛杉磯的樂隊Rilo Kiley發表的每張專輯都大受Indie fans的歡迎和
喜愛。這回的新專輯也很好聽,專輯封面很有他們的感覺~攝影師拍的一系列照片我都蠻喜歡的!

Rilo Kiley主唱Jenny Lewis,吉他手Blake Sennett,貝斯Pierre De Reeder ,鼓手Jason Boesel
組成的indie rock band,準確些應該還包括indie pop和country folk . Rilo Kiley的聲音非一般的
清新,但個別的作品中,還是帶有那麼一點的硬朗,曲風上面,rilo kiley主要還是以nylon guitar
為主,因此很多作品中,都總有些country folk的味道,再配合上柔弱而堅韌的聲線 
在Rilo Kiley的作品中我們不難去感受一種積極向上的氛圍 : )

  
Since her band's last record (2004's More Adventurous)
Rilo Kiley frontwoman Jenny Lewis has taken her one-time child-actress, pop-star status up a level, as her charismatic solo effort, Rabbit Fur Coat, was one of the top recordings of 2006. But those who feared she'd abandon her long-time mates to do it alone will be instantly comforted by a collection of songs so zestful and extravagantly produced that no less than four emerge tailor-made for pop radio . 

After the opener "Silver Lining" feeds off George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" riff and some cajoling handclaps, Lewis reels in the glee with "Close Call," where the lavishness of the melodies outweighs the foreboding lyrics. The bouncy " Breaking Up," with the sun-splashed chorus "feels good to be free," is so absolutely California-beach perfect, it's ripe for a million-selling soda commercial, and then Lewis saves her vocal best for a trifecta near the end: Dusty Springfield soul ("15"), dancefloor power pop ("Smoke Detector"), and meltaway folk ("The Angels Hung Around"). 

Did it take their angel leaving the nest for a spell for Rilo Kiley to make their definitive record? The argument is futile, but the music is sublime. --Scott Holter
