More than twenty years after its initial release, Rilo Kiley is releasing The Execution of All Things (Frozen Lake Edition) on April 25th to enshrine this pivotal indie rock album.
Rilo Kiley was born from hunger, from the insatiable desire to write one’s own story. The band’s origins can be traced back to Los Angeles in the late 1990s, when Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett discovered a shared songwriting obsession and began performing together. After some starts and stops, a band was formed with Pierre “Duke” de Reeder playing bass. They called themselves Rilo Kiley, borrowing a name that came to Sennett in a dream.
For their second record, Rilo Kiley headed to Nebraska to record with Bright Eyes’ Mike Mogis alongside new drummer Jason Boesel. Here, Lewis truly becomes a generational songwriter, spinning interior mysteries regarding romance, depression, trauma, hope, and isolation into cathartic revelations. The Execution of All Things was a triumphant arrival.
Originally released in 2002, the celebrated and beloved album The Execution of All Things is a hallmark of indie rock. Hailed by fans and critics alike as an essential component to any record collection.
The 20th installment of Saddle Creek’s Document Series features Dean Johnson, the Seattle-based singer/songwriter whose heartfelt storytelling and undeniable charm have been quietly building a devoted fanbase across the globe.
For the superfan and the curious alike, this is the band-curated entry point and career-spanning collection of songs from the one and only Rilo Kiley, who defined a generation and continues to influence indie rock to this day.
Today, The Faint are announcing reissues of two classic LPs: Blank-Wave Arcade (1999) and Wet From Birth (2004). Listen to the previously unreleased "Zealots (Unrealized)" here!
