Rilo Kiley is an American indie rock band from Los Angeles, formed by Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett.

Core members include Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett, with Pierre de Reeder and Dave Rock. Under the Blacklight (2007) was released on Warner Bros. and was produced by Mike Elizondo.

Reviews praise Rilo Kiley's early indie-pop craft and Jenny Lewis's vocals while noting occasional mainstream leanings. The Execution of All Things is seen as a strong follow-up; Take Offs and Landings is called delightful. Under the Blacklight drew criticism for a pop-oriented, major-label sound.

 "this CD, produced by Mike Elizondo (50 Cent?! Dr. Dre?!) is nothing more than a slapdash attempt to join the MTV world covered in green dollar bills."

 The second album by Rilo Kiley is a thoroughly enjoyable collection of pop tracks, slightly more complex than those in "Take Off And Landings," as already demonstrated in the opening "The Good That Won't Come Out," where Jenny Lewis tries to extend the nuances of her (beautiful) voice, while the soundscape is enriched with keyboards and various effects.

 a quartet from Los Angeles that debuted in 2001 with this "Take Off And Landings", a CD that can be described as absolutely delightful, right from the first notes of "Go Ahead", almost a folk nursery rhyme for voice and guitar, where Lewis's vocal talent begins to be felt (literally).
