Another Indie Sellout

Is it possible to sell out and still make the best album of your career? Indie fave Rilo Kiley have done just that with Under The Blacklight, their 3rd album. Smartly letting Jenny Lewis ride her muse from last year's solo album, Rilo Kiley have gone all Pop here. Hell, this is the best pure Pop album of 2007. Hooks that remind you of Mirage era Fleetwood Mac and Lewis ditching any resemblence to her Indie roots for Pop stardom. These type of sellouts will infuriate fans, until they put on the finished product. Inside the comfort of their own listening device, their hardcore fans will embrace, while new fans will wonder why other Indie bands don't sell out this joyously.
