Free Music Review: An Extremely Well Executed "Execution of All Things"
Hit: 5 Stars

Wow. That pretty much sums up what I feel about Rilo Kiley's follow-up to the self-titled EP, "Rilo Kiley," and their first LP, "Take Offs and Landings."

A trip to Omaha seems to have paid off for Jenny Lewis and the rest of the band, as their melodies and harmonies have never been more rocking than on this album. While "Take Offs" was mellow and dreamy for the most part with an occasional rock-out moment here and there, "The Execution of All Things" is nothing but the best combination of indie rock, country, and folk I've ever seen.

Yes, you heard right, folk. Folk songs in the 50's and 60's could very well be compared to Rilo Kiley, as they write about both their own emotions and the emotions of the world with such clarity. At first glance the album seems to start off slow, but once you hit that first gong in "The Good That Won't Come Out," there is no turning back. In fact, if by the title track "The Execution of All Things" you are not completely hooked, maybe intellectual music is not for you. That may sound cruel, but that's how passionate I am about Rilo Kiley. "A Better Son/A Better Daughter" is an anthem which every child can relate to. "But you'll fight and you'll make it through. You fake it if you have to and you'll show up for work with a smile." Sound familiar to anyone, because it sure does to me. Those days you just didn't want to get out of bed, those days your parents kept hounding you. Those depressed times where you kept moving on. We've all had it happen at least once in our lives, and Rilo couldn't put it any better here. Wow.

Forget the reviews saying they tried too hard or that they are sounding a little too much like Pavement. OC Weekly was way off base. It works. There's not much else to say, other than it works. An indie rock soon to be classic, pick up this album. And pick up "Take Offs and Landings" too and you'll see just how much they have improved themselves vocally and musically within the span of a year or so. Who knows, maybe we can make mainstream recognize that there's something other than the mainstream to listen to out there. Rilo Kiley is a shining example that indie is just so much better than anything mainstream has to offer. So, once more, buy "The Execution of All Things." You won't regret it.
