Although the band Rilo Kiley is mostly made up of former child actors, their names really didn't ring a bell to me. I had never heard of Jenny Lewis before, and the only place I remember Blake Sennett from was Salute Your Shorts (although he went by Blake Soper then). But the reason why it probably took a while for people to notice the band is because they are on Barsuk Records, and it always takes a while for those artists to get the exposure they deserve (ask Death Cab for Cutie). Still, I never would have heard of the band had it not been for some Wikipedia rumor that they were going to perform on the 33rd season premiere of Saturday Night Live after Amy Winehouse pulled out, but I'm sure glad I did.Under the Blacklight is easily one of the best albums that came out last year. Jenny handles most of the lead vocals, and she handles them well, whether the songs are metaphors ("Silver Lining"; "The Angels Hung Around"), dysfunctional families ("15"), or songs that are just plain good ("Dejalo"; "Give a Little Love"). But Blake also does a good job handling the mic on "Dreamworld".I knocked off half a star because at the end of the otherwise good "Breakin' Up", Jenny sings that "it feels good to be free" part in an odd tone. But the rest of Under the Blacklight is stellar enough for you to not even care, so pick it up.Anthony Rupert
