Under The Blacklight is by far and away the most accessible album that Rilo Kiley have ever made.
-
Creamy and precise, every coo and arpeggio blows through your ear buds like the ruffle of crisp bills.
-
Some of these genre shifts work better than others, of course, but the record is so tightly constructed that nothing ever crashes and burns.
-
Ahead of their Electric Picnic date, the LA rockers ditch their mainstream sheen on their fourth album.
-
Aside from whatever awaits Rilo Kiley if they discover, like Courtney Love before them, that deliberately setting the dial to AOR doesn't guarantee success--is the seam of graceless contrivance. Not just musically--but lyrically.
-
The one thing you can't accuse Under the Blacklight of is being boring, but it abides by an either/or sort of mentality that presumes that a complete lack of substance is the only alternative to the kind of music Rilo Kiley and their pals made in 2002.

EmilyS.Jan 22, 2008I love all the old albums, but this one takes the cake. So fun, but layered. I like each song more, each time I hear it!
