Rilo Kiley – That's How We Choose To Remember It (CD)
Product Details
Rilo Kiley built their reputation in the early 2000s indie rock underground through records like "More Adventurous" and "Under the Blacklight," with Jenny Lewis emerging as one of the most distinctive songwriters of her generation. The band went quiet for over a decade, each member pursuing solo work and other projects, which makes this career-spanning collection something genuinely rare: a reunion that feels earned rather than obligatory.
After a long absence, Rilo Kiley—Jenny Lewis, Blake Sennett, Jason Boesel, and Pierre “Duke” de Reeder— are back, with arms outstretched.
Over the years, a reunion “felt like a possibility, but it was never the right time,” explains Boesel. “Planning this reunion over these past months has been like reconnecting with family. We haven’t missed a beat,” says De Reeder. “The stakes are only to have a good time, to revel in this nostalgia. Getting to revisit and celebrate the music from that special time of our lives while experiencing it alongside a lot of people that lived it with us back when, and new folks alike.”
The new Rilo Kiley album, That’s How We Choose to Remember It, is a collection of career-spanning songs that hit its audience with a breath of honest, fresh air. “For some people, Rilo Kiley evokes a formative, emotional time in life, when you were maybe grasping for your place in the universe. We were too,” says Sennett.
We’ve all got a memory or two with the songs of Rilo Kiley. Maybe belting “I Never” or requesting “The Frug,” at a show in the early 2000s. This latest collection celebrates the music so deeply held by many of us. Here’s to Rilo Kiley, their reunion, and the next generation of listeners to love this band as much as we do. Long live Rilo Kiley.
