 Rilo Kiley into limelight with 'More Adventurous' | www.azstarnet.com ®
Jenny Lewis, with Rilo Kiley bandmates Blake Sennett, left, Jason Boesel and Pierre de Reeder.
Drummer Jason Boesel said all the attention only means the band lived up to his simple goal for the album: "To do better than our last one.
While the band's breakthrough album was filled with wholesome indie rock licks, the new album is much more diverse and shifts between revealing folk and soul, supercharged rock and even a little country twang.

  Telegraph | Arts | Dark and interesting corners
Meeting half of the LA quartet Rilo Kiley in a London hotel, my first thought is how much nicer this pair are – as in more thoughtful, less preoccupied with their effect – than most of their Brit-rock equivalents.
In fact, singer Jenny Lewis and drummer Jason Boesel admit to being a bit worried as to how their countrified story-songs detailing difficult relationships and the complicated sadnesses of grown-up living will play with the media circus over here.
Lewis and Boesel talk warily about "the pros and cons of major-label politics" and more hopefully of how "the paperwork's different but the music's the same".

Saddle Creek label manager Jason Kulbel said in last month's issue of Alternative Press that one of the main differences was in how the two parties approached commercial radio.
Boesel said commercial radio is changing, at least in Los Angeles.
Boesel said More Adventurous will actually be released world-wide in the coming months on Warner Bros., and though they've only just started dealing with the conglomerate, he hasn't noticed any unwanted influence.

 Rilo Kiley gets ‘Adventurous’
Jason Boesel pulls drumming duty for indie-rock royalty Bright Eyes when he’s not playing with Rilo Kiley, and bassist Pierre de Reeder also is working on an LP of his own.
Rilo Kiley decided to tour together as much as possible on the release of “Adventurous,” Boesel said, and they embarked on an aggressive national headlining run at the end of last month.
Rilo Kiley can’t even think about making another album until they can clear their full calendar, but “Adventurous” is their most accessible effort yet, and it has a lot of life left in it.

 OC Weekly: The Lassie Foundation by Michael Alarcon
There’s the requisite gum- and ash-riddled ground; the lonely, hunched-over old men drinking away their retirement money; ’50s-era, boudoir art knockoffs of pink women with teardrop breasts and curvy hips; red-velvet wallpaper; and an elevated stage show complete with a Las Vegas light extravaganza.
Jason 71, the Lassie’s bass player, is pumping his fist in time with the hip thrusts of an onstage entertainer air-humping to an artificially processed bossa nova.
The band’s drummer and newest member, Jason Boesel, accompanies him with a manic karate-chop, hand-jive cha-cha.

Sennett made frequent appearances, and Rilo Kiley drummer Jason Boesel also lent his talents to a song, but Bloom seemed just as adept on stage when performing solo.
His quiet songs weren’t particularly remarkable, but he played them with a lot of heart, and his dry wit was inviting.
But while the group’s co-founders and co-songwriters took much of the attention — and rightfully so — the rhythms laid down by Boesel and bassist Pierre de Reeder lent the songs their undeniable anthemic energy.

It’s an album full of uplifting songs of heartbreak, traditional pop from the future, country music from the city, and all other manner of oxymoronic perfection -- RK’s stock in trade over the course of their bright lifetime as a band.
When the tours ended, side projects kicked in: Jenny Lewis sang on the The Postal Service album and toured with them; Drummer Jason Boesel recorded with Bright Eyes; and guitarist/singer Blake Sennett recorded, released, and toured behind his solo album under the name The Elected (on Sub Pop).
But where many bands would then stop to take a breather, or at least let the events of the last couple years soak in, RK instead decided to kick things UP a notch.

 Rilo Kiley's 'Adventurous': High Risk, High Reward (washingtonpost.com)
The four-piece band's scope is too broad (it covers country, rock, folk, new wave and even torch territory), its talent too prodigious, to be cordoned off in such a small cranny.
More than anything though, it is Jenny Lewis's exquisitely sad and expressive voice that makes the band's intensely melodic and melancholic music feel like nothing less than the baring of a fascinating, heartbroken soul.
With guitarist Blake Sennett, drummer Jason Boesel and bassist Pierre de Reeder, she has created not just songs but invitations to share experiences of 21st-century love and loss -- mostly loss.

The Elected, which is the pet project of Rilo Kiley (an SC band from L.A.) members Blake Sennet and Jason Boesel, were a shock defection to Sub Pop last year and released Me First in February.
Consafos, again from L.A., made their Chicago debut featuring members of Azure Ray, Bright Eyes, and The Good Life (with all the incest you'd think this was West Virginia, not Nebraska) and Billy Talbot, son of Crazy Horse bassist Bill Talbot.

 Music | The Elected
In the indie band Rilo Kiley, Blake Sennett’s pretty, breathy voice is sometimes obscured by the sinewy vocals of his co-conspirator, Jenny Lewis.
But he’s front and center on the debut album by his side project the Elected, who’re rounded out by lap steel player Mike Bloom, bassist Daniel Brummel (Ozma), and drummer Jason Boesel (Rilo Kiley).
Sennett moves from the quivering of Elliott Smith on "British Columbia" to a cheeky and tough delivery on "Go On." Playing his voice’s delicacy against lyrics filled with smart, dark humor, he channels the nervous breakdowns and heartache that lurk beneath the tradition of Southern California rock that feeds his music.

 Boston.com / A&E / Music / CD reviews / rilo_kiely_more_adventurous
The album contains many such moments, as the band incorporates varied styles, from the saucy guitar- and keyboard-driven rocker "Portions for Foxes" to the soulful torch song "I Never" and the wry, sepia-tinged ballad "Rip Chord," sung by the band's guitarist and cosongwriter Blake Sennett.
The songs are a range of social commentary, coming-of-age tales, and a cast of lost lovers, like the lonely telemarketer that appears in "A Man/Me/Then Jim," a lovely song that evokes early Paul Simon, but supported by a calypso-flavored rhythm from drummer Jason Boesel and bassist Pierre de Reeder.
The only drawback to so many vibrant moments and varied styles is that a few songs feel slight, lacking in musical texture, and they don't quite cohere.

While it may be a kind album on the surface, issues of faded childhood dreams and memories and disappointments of the family line allow self-indulgence to be OK. In fact, it's well overdue for those overachieving people-pleasers who feel defeated, yet hold a spark for a smile.
Rilo Kiley multi-instrumentalists Blake Sennett and Jason Boesel are playful throughout the quirky storylines of Me First, and both seem more confident in embracing their love for country music.
The album is deserving of the attention of any Rilo Kiley fan, for Sennett and Boesel's pop design is interesting and far from sounding predictable.

 Delusions of Adequacy Reviews - The Lassie Foundation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The album starts out with the hushed “Good as Gold,” an almost entirely a cappella track portraying the band with their hands out, “collecting, cause we’re good as gold.” Kind of a cocky statement, but no need to be apprehensive: they back it up, and then some.
The CD ends with two of the best Lassie cuts ever penned, “Hero,” and “Vive Les Animaux.” “Hero” is simply gorgeous, a melancholy ballad which pits vocalist Wayne Everett’s smooth voice against that of Julie Martin (wife of Jason Martin, of Starflyer 59).
The two sing back and forth over a bed of humming synths, acoustic guitar, vibraphone, and reverbed guitar slides that give the song a spacey, slightly ambient feel.
