Under the Blacklight is the fourth full-length studio album released by American alternative rock band Rilo Kiley. It was released on August 20, 2007 in the United Kingdom - three years and three days after the release of their third album, More Adventurous. Warner Bros. Records released the album one day later in America. "Silver Lining" was #27 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.[1]
More Adventurous is the third full length album released by Los Angeles based band Rilo Kiley. The album, released on August 17, 2004, marks a significant change in the band's sound with the goal of being "more adventurous" than their previous music. The effort paid off by increasing the group's audience and garnering critical praise; noted rock critic Robert Christgau called "It's a Hit," song of the year for 2004[1]. Two versions of the album were released: the regular store-sold version in a normal jewel case and a limited edition digipak version (1,000 copies) sold at the album's release party and concert.
"Accidntel Deth" was produced by Jimmy Tamborello, known for his work in The Postal Service and as Dntel (which explains the unusual spelling of the title).
"Ripchord" and "It Just Is" were written in response to the death of Elliott Smith.

The Execution of All Things is the second full length album released by Los Angeles based rock band Rilo Kiley. Expanding on their previous musical sound that mostly incorporated guitars, vocals, percussion and pianos, "Execution" contains heavy electronica sampling mixed into the songs in a rather unusual and displaced-sounding way. Also, unlike their previous tracks which were written in very traditional manners, the lyrics to the songs on "Execution" are very wordy and read like prose. Musically, the record has a very sunny disposition, with bouncing bass lines and simple melodies complemented by Lewis' sweet and angelic voice. However this is contradicted by the often dark and morose subject matter that the lyrics reference. The album is also strung together by a song that is broken into pieces and that trails between several tracks. Called "And That's How I Choose to Remember It," it tells the story of lead singer Jenny Lewis' childhood and her parents' divorce. This theme is visited throughout the album, which is lyrically filled with childhood recollections of loss, displacement, anger, and hopelessness.
The songs "So Long" and "Three Hopeful Thoughts" feature lead vocals by Blake Sennett. Lewis sings lead on all other tracks.
This album is the 47th release of Saddle Creek Records.

Take-Offs and Landings is Rilo Kiley's debut full-length album, originally released in 2001 on the independent label Barsuk Records. It was re-released in 2007. Of Rilo Kiley's solo albums, Take-Offs and Landings contains the most songs sung by band member Blake Sennett, who sings lead on "August," "Small Figures In A Vast Expanse," "Rest of My Life," and a hidden track. Jenny Lewis sings lead on the other tracks, except for two "Variations on a Theme" tracks, which are instrumental.
The album's hidden track is officially titled "Spectacular Views." However, since a later Rilo Kiley song has the same name, it is often referred to as "Salute My Shorts!," in reference to Sennett's acting role on the television show Salute Your Shorts.

The Initial Friend E.P. was the first release put out by Los Angeles based rock band Rilo Kiley. It was initially a self titled release that was put out by the band independently in 1999. They re-pressed it with altered artwork and track-listing in 2000, and then did the same thing again for a third pressing in 2001. All three releases commonly sell on Ebay for between $75–100 and are fairly rare. Unlike their later releases which would be thematic lyrically, "Initial Friend" had songs all over the board both in topic and in style. "Frug" and "85" were included in the soundtrack to the Christina Ricci film Desert Blue, which led to the band's heightened popularity and eventual signing to a record label.
