Last Thoughts on Rilo Kiley's Under the Blacklight

My initial review failed to mention the last two tracks on Under the Blacklight. “Tell the Angels Hung Around” is a beautiful ballad with a gangly wingspan. It makes me want to feather my hair or put my hand out the window of a moving car. “Give a Little Love” has too much drum machine and effects which sound cheap next to Jenny Lewis’ stellar voice. The chorus is almost enough to save it, but ultimately I can’t get past the Wesley Willis bad Casio keyboard effects.
