Acid Tongue, Jenny Lewis's follow-up to Rabbit Fur Coat, came out in September 2008 through Warner Bros. and Rough Trade, and it is the Rilo Kiley singer loosening her collar. Sparked by jam sessions, it was cut between December 2007 and March 2008 in Van Nuys, California, with the aim of catching a looser, live-in-the-room feel. She wrote it with her boyfriend Johnathan Rice, and the two of them produced it alongside Jason Lader and Dave Scher, with a crowd of guest players pitching in.
The songs wander from indie rock into alt-country and dusty Americana. Reviewers mostly fell for her lyrics and her voice, though a few felt all the company crowded her out. It reached number 22 in the US and 55 in the UK.
