It only takes one listen through to Rilo Kiley's Under the Blacklight to see why sassy, go-getting single 'The Moneymaker' was chosen as the lead single. While the LA quintet are religiously extolled for their jangly indie-pop tunes in certain circles, mainstream success has thus far eluded them - until now, that is. The Moneymaker is just one of several superbly-executed, not to mention instantly-loveable pop songs on Jenny Lewis and co.'s fourth studio album, which - if there's any justice in the world - should see their newly-expanded sound win them fans and plaudits from unexpected sources this time 'round. It's not just their musical modus operandi that has diversified from its usual jangle-pop-rock design, either; both Lewis and one-time partner Blake Sennett have both undertaken solo projects since the last RK album, 2004's More Adventurous (Lewis with The Watson Twins and Sennett's The Elected) - so perspectives have perhaps been freshened, and enthusiasm augmented. If that is indeed the case, Under the Blacklight has greatly benefited from the band's hiatus. It's an album that borrows from several genres but is never overwhelmed by any of them; '80s pop, latino, blue-eyed soul and alt-country all get a look-in here. Lewis's melted-chocolate voice is more sultry and sexy than ever before, most notably accompanying the swoonsome, warm indie-pop riff of Silver Lining, and the fuzzy sixties Byrds/Kinks swing of Smoke Detector, while the glossy r'n'b beat of Give A Little Love and palm tree pop of Breakin' Up, despite their sunny musical disposition, are perhaps autobiographical documents relating to Lewis and Sennett's split. Several tracks suggest that Rilo Kiley have been indulging in the 'guilty pleasures' sections of their record collections, lately, too; Dreamworld's well-crafted layers are instantly comparable to Fleetwood Mac, while Dejalo is out-and-out Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine. There's absolutely nothing guilty about this pleasure, though; with Under the Blacklight, an album that rocks and pops in equal measures, Rilo Kiley have possibly reached the zenith of their career as a band.
