The new Rilo Kiley hit the streets on Tuesday and even though it was only my second most anticipated album of August, I think it might actually be better than the Weakerthans album I wrote about last week.

It’s been so much fun to listen to the last week - connections, natch - that I couldn’t just pick one song of the day.

First up is the video for “Silver Lining,” the first track on the album.

The video is an imagined wedding scene between the band’s two singers, indie rock megababe Jenny Lewis and countrified guitarist / songwriter Blake Stennet. Blake does not win the encounter.

The imagery hits all the dreamy, breezy, but just a little dark notes that run through the entire record. Plus, Tracy can’t stop singing along.

I think the song on the album I like best, however, is the Beyonce-sounding one. That’s right, the Beyonce-sounding one.

Well, I suppose it’s really a “disco-sounding” track. But saying Beyonce is more fun.

Anyway, this record is about disco, handclaps, and sex. The chorus to this song is unbelievably catchy. And ooo, ahhh, feels good to be free.

That’s all I have to say.
