Rilo Kiley's Rkives: A Treasure Trove of Unreleased Songs and Rarities

Rilo Kiley, the indie rock band fronted by Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett, may have gone on hiatus in 2010, but they left behind a legacy of music that spans over a decade. In 2013, they released Rkives, a compilation album that collects unreleased songs, b-sides, demos, and other hard to find tracks from their career. The album showcases the band's versatility, creativity, and evolution, from their folk-pop roots to their more polished and adventurous sound.

Rkives features 16 tracks, nine of which are never before released songs. Some of the highlights include \"Let Me Back In\", a nostalgic ode to Los Angeles that serves as the lead single; \"Runnin' Around\", a catchy pop-rock tune with a retro vibe; \"All The Drugs\", a dark and sultry ballad that showcases Lewis' vocal range; \"Dejalo (Zondo Remix)\", a hip-hop infused remix of their Under the Blacklight track featuring rapper Too $hort; and \"A Town Called Luckey\", a duet with Tim Kasher of Cursive that tells a story of love and loss.

The album also includes some of the band's b-sides and demos that were previously available only on singles or online. For example, \"Bury, Bury, Bury Another\" and \"Well, You Left\" are two tracks that were recorded in Lincoln, Nebraska for an unreleased EP; \"Emotional\" and \"American Wife\" are two songs from the More Adventurous sessions that showcase the band's alt-country influences; and \"The Frug\" is an early version of their classic song from their debut album Take-Offs and Landings.

Rkives is not only a treat for fans who have been waiting for new material from Rilo Kiley, but also a testament to the band's talent and diversity. The album is a reminder of why Rilo Kiley was one of the most acclaimed and influential indie rock bands of their time. Rkives is available on CD, vinyl, and digital formats from Little Record Company[^1^] [^2^] [^3^].

Rkives received critical acclaim from various publications, who praised the band's songwriting, musicianship, and charm. Pitchfork gave the album a 7.4 out of 10, calling it \\\"a mostly filler-free set of outtakes, demos and b-sides\\\" that \\\"provides an essential supplement to the Rilo Kiley discography\\\"[^1^]. Entertainment Weekly gave the album an A-, saying that \\\"the songs on Rkives are so good they make you wonder what else Rilo Kiley are hiding\\\"[^2^]. Spin Magazine gave the album an 8 out of 10, saying that \\\"Rkives is not the sorely nonexistent sixth Rilo Kiley album, unfortunately, but as a career-spanning loose-ends wrap-up, it's sure a lot better than the next best thing\\\"[^3^].
