Rilo Kiley — Emotional

Jenny Lewis’s former band has gotten better since they broke up. This song, “Emotional,” with its awesomely drawn out chorus “You’re so E-MO-TION-AL” and its guitar solo outro, is a perfect little pop rock song. I have yet to pick up the album of rarities the band released this year, from which this song is from — RKives — but I just convinced myself that that’s going to have to change.

mmmm, Jenny Lewis. Rilo Kiley haven’t released any new material since 2007’s Under the Blacklight. And while the new song shown in the video above, “Let Me Back In,” may sound new, it’s actually part of a new rarities and b-sides compilation the band is releasing on April 2. No new material, but still… something. Maybe they’ll go on tour, realize they never should have broken up, and write some new material.
