girl anachronism Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Rilo Kiley announce their split | News | NME.COMReal shame, didn't think much of Under The Blacklight, but they made some genuinely brilliant pop records. Fantastic live band too. Hopefully the comp of unreleased stuff will be a fitting farewell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Genuinely pretty gutted about this, I expected the 'hiatus' would end eventually but I guess this puts an end to that. It's also a shame judging by what Blake's said that there seems to be such a messy end to such a great band.The Execution of All Things and More Adventurous are two of the most perfect albums of the decade, lyrically and musically. I saw them on the MA tour and they were stunning, really engaging and intimate yet played like they were playing to a packed stadium instead of a couple of 100 people in a dark, sweaty venue in Scotland. I agree Under the Blacklight was miles from their best and had some really questionable songs on it, but I'd always hoped they'd make one more great melodic Indie-Pop record like TEOAT before it came to an end. Looking forward to the B-Sides/Rarities release though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
