Up until about a year and a half ago, I had always had a hard time answering the question "who is your favorite band?" I have so many favorites that are so different that it has always been hard to choose. But a year and a half ago, I discovered that all my Rilo Kiley albums are the most listened to from my iTunes. I found myself listening to them all the time, no matter what mood I was in. This past year I had the chance to see them in concert (which was amazing) and now whenever the question "who is your favorite band?" is posed, I don't even hesitate to say Rilo Kiley.
If you've never listened to Rilo Kiley, you are definitely missing out. Rilo Kiley's music is a mix of folk, indie rock, and a little bit of pop. The band is comprised of 3 males and a female lead singer, Jenny Lewis. Jenny Lewis' voice is so soulful and unique and comes across so friendly. The band relies heavily on guitar and keyboard with a few tracks sung by Blake Sennett. One thing I can say about this band is that I can't compare them to anyone. They don't sound like anyone else, which is something you don't come across too often. Their lyrics tend to be "anti-love songs" and generally tell a story. These are all reasons I love Rilo Kiley so much. I hope that I have convinced a few to listen to some Rilo Kiley music, because I can pretty much guarantee you will fall in love after the first listen. You will not be dissapointed!
When did you discover who your favorite band is, who are they, and why do you like them so much?
Truth be told, I just knew that "Portions for Foxes", OST of "Grey's Anatomy", is a song of Rilo Kiley. I think that voice of a lead singer matches sound of the band well.
