More Adventurous (Rilo Kiley)



The album is a solid rock contribution. Ms. Lewis has fantastically charming lyrics, supported by a potent surge of electric rhythm from her band-mates. While feeling light as a feather, it has that quaint deepness, allowing for multiple repeats with new atmospheres discovered each time. This is more classically rock, with less of the twang and country-folk experimentalism found in Under the Blacklight. But that is never a bad thing, especially when the structure of each song strongly attempts originality: something of an expectation of every musician’s credo. Other musicians set these same aims on a stadium and gladiatorial height, often failing at their efforts for immortality. Thus, while More Adventurous does not achieve the highest brilliance reserved for strikes of musical lighting, it still can count as a strong contribution to the “Lost Decade of Music”.

Grade: B+
