Under the Blacklight by Rilo Kiley
Under the Blacklight is an album by Rilo Kiley, released in 2007. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 27 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Silver Lining”, on 17 lists with a best position of #27.
Under the Blacklight, Rilo Kiley's fourth and final album, came out in August 2007, the Los Angeles band's major-label debut on Warner Bros. after signing that year, and it arrived three years after More Adventurous. Mike Elizondo produced it, and the result is slick, knowing and sun-baked.
Jenny Lewis sings like she's leaning against a jukebox in a bar that's seen better days, and Blake Sennett, Pierre de Reeder and Jason Boesel dress the songs in sleek indie pop with a sly, sleazy wink. "Silver Lining" is the keeper, still turning up on the countdowns years later, while "The Moneymaker" and "Dreamworld" brought the glitter to rock radio at the time.
