Jenny Lewis — Acid Tongue

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) September 26, 2008 10:52 am
It sounds like Lewis is aping Kate Bush on opener "Black Sand," and you start wondering if Acid Tongue is going to be a departure from her Rabbit Fur Coat solo debut with The Watson Twins. It quickly becomes clear that this isn't so. Lewis is joined by a slew of guests including M. Ward ("Pretty Bird") and his She & Him...

Jenny Lewis Gets Macabre At Church

in
By Kevin Ritchie (CHARTattack) October 10, 2006 4:00 pm
At first glance, Jenny Lewis appeared to be taking her ecclesiastical surroundings at Toronto's Trinity-St. Paul's Church to heart. Clad in an elegant black dress, the petite redhead sombrely walked down the centre aisle crooning "Run Devil Run," an a cappella number from her solo debut, Rabbit Fur Coat. The statuesque Watson Twins,...

Jenny Lewis Makes Successful Solo Flight

Some lazy sociocultural anthropologist might have seen Thursday night's Opera House audience as bored, rarely even mustering up the standard hipster "sway" or "head bob" in reaction to Jenny Lewis' solo debut in our fair city. But look a little closer (o hypothetical scientist) and you'll notice that everyone is rapt with...

Jenny Lewis — Rabbit Fur Coat

in
By David McDougall (CHARTattack) January 24, 2006 10:28 am
The standout track on Rilo Kiley's last LP was "I Never," featuring the debut of Jenny Lewis' impressive country croon. Rabbit Fur Coat picks up where that song left off, dropping her usual Cali-pop in favour of some old school gospel, soul and country. Luckily, she gets it right and the musical surroundings don't feel forced — Lewis is...

Jenny Lewis — "See Fernando"

in
By CHARTattack Staff July 9, 2009 12:42 pm
Jenny Lewis' video for Acid Tongue's "See Fernando" looks like a spoof of a '60s crime film (read: Austin Powers with less sex jokes and no dialogue). Lewis plays a secret agent snapping shots of shady characters in the woods and poses as a flight attendant before she meets up with the bad guy and nearly falls for him. The Watson...

Jenny Lewis — "Black Sand"

in
By CHARTattack Staff June 17, 2009 3:01 pm
Jenny Lewis' video for Acid Tongue's opener, "Black Sand," is suitably trippy for the hippie folkster. Multiple Lewises are projected on top of images of sand and other multicoloured clips. At one point, she gets multiple arms like Lakshmi and floats through the clouds. Is it obvious she's done acid?

We're pretty sure she cribbed Neil's "Love Is A Rose" in there somewhere. Not that her fanboys will care, though. Her fans are so emo.

Jenny Lewis' Acid Tongue

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) July 15, 2008 10:58 am
One would hardly think that soft-spoken Rilo Kiley frontwoman and former child actress Jenny Lewis has an acid tongue, but that's exactly what she's titled her sophomore solo album that's due for release in September through Warner Bros. Lewis recorded the 11-track disc over three weeks at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, Calif. It features...

Rilo Kiley: Adventures And Nudity In The Studio

in
By David McDougall (CHARTattack) October 22, 2004 4:30 pm
Rilo Kiley have to speak up. The band members are sitting in a semi-circle, in a little bunker/dressing-room directly under the stage at Lee's Palace, and the opening band is a noisy one. The walls are painted black and a single light bulb is making this all feel a lot like an interrogation. Their new record, More Adventurous, has a decidedly...
