Making the world a more bearable place, Rilo Kiley offer us their beautiful melodies, haunting vocals and striking lyrics.

Rilo Kiley 'Xfm Session' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]

The world is full of unexplained phenomena. Why has no-one realised that Jade Goody is an escaped farm-yard animal? Why do G4 have a record deal? And why are Rilo Kiley not internationally recognised as one of the greatest bands of our time? With their latest 'More Adventurous' album, the LA foursome offer enough divine purity to cleanse your soul for at least a decade.

As ever, Jenny Lewis' sublime vocals resonate in perfect harmony with the alt-county-indie vibes of the rest of the band. The anthemic 'Portions For Foxes'  [Dial-Up] [Broadband]  is everything that is good about pop-rock, complete with sing-along chorus.

'Pull Me In Tighter' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]  sees clicking fingers and a bass line that will stay with you well after the last chord dies out. 'More Adventurous'  [Dial-Up] [Broadband]  welcomes the return of the Rilo Kiley take on country music, wailing guitars and harmonica combine to make you glad you're alive. And not deaf.
