4. Rilo Kiley - Under the Black Light
Few things hit the spot like this album. The wide variety of styles makes is a great listen, starting with the light and lofty rhythm of "Silver Lining." The godess that is Jenny Lewis quickly transforms her voice from angelic to devilish and sultry, a feat which few could rival. This is especially evident in "Moneymaker." Kiley's influences are evident throughout. "Close Call" and "Dreamworld" have similarities to some of the heavily Stevie Nicks-influenced Fleetwood Mac days. "Breakin' Up" is reminiscent of Blondie. Then there is "Smoke Detector," a nod to the old beach bum movies of Frankie Avalon.
