It's New Year's Eve, I'm in Glendora I'm the only living person in Glendora Heading east on the freeway I left my prom dress on the bus-stop in Duarte I switch the rules, you take advantage You know I always like to play the victim And would you fuck me? 'cause I'd fuck me Am I your wet nap? Freestyle walking

I cry, cry, cry, then I complain Come back for more, do it again I cry, cry, cry, then I complain Come back for more, do it again

I'm on my way, I want to see you You're in your bedroom with some dancers underneath you I come inside, I hear the door slam You tell me if I really loved you I'd get with them They make me sick, you make me sicker But I want to please you so I go and I get with her I close my eyes, I think about me I'm just your wet nap Freestyle walking

I cry, cry, cry, then I complain Come back for more, do it again I cry, cry, cry, then I complain Come back for more, do it again

I should find someone better for me But Mom says we're born this way Every time I come over to your house You just shit on my face And you know, you know You know, you know it really freaks me out

I drove for hours on bad directions I arrive, there's something you forgot to mention An afterthought, straight to the tabby "Sorry Angel, went to Reno," happy, happy It ain't the rest, why do you Jenny? I'm in a booth, it's almost twelve, your favorite Denny's Another year, I need a sundae I'm just your side bet Freestyle walking

I cry, cry, cry, then I complain Come back for more, do it again I cry, cry, cry, then I complain Come back for more, do it again I cry, cry, cry, then I complain Come back for more, do it again

Rilo Kiley - Classic Music Review - More Adventurous

Rilo Kiley – Classic Music Review – More Adventurous

I’ve had this sucker near the top of my to-do list for years. Every time my eyes lighted upon More Adventurous, my first reaction was “Oh yeah, gotta do that one.” What stopped me was my second response: “Ugh.”

The “ugh” reaction has nothing to do with my opinion of the album, which is actually quite favorable. The “ugh” comes from the happenstance that More Adventurouscame out in 2004, during a…

My Favorite Album #206 - 10 years of Rilo Kiley ‘Under the Blacklight’ with Katie Brianna

Australian Americana singer/songwriter Katie Brianna on the album that helped her transform herself and stake out her independence as a young woman - Rilo Kiley's 2007 swang song 'Under the Blacklight'.

We make the case for the album as Rilo Kiley's best record - and how it represents a breadth and musical ambition beyond their previous catalogue. We the songs fall in the evolution of frontwoman Jenny Lewis, from RK's indie rock origins to her subsequent solo success. Katie talks about why 'Under the Blacklight' is the album she wishes she was 'cool enough' to make, and we really overwork the 'your band is your baby' metaphor.

Warburg. The empire strikes back

Otto Tausig ist Aby Warburg und Aby Warburg ist damit bisher der einzige Polarforscher, der in einem Film eines Mitarbeiters des Conseil d'Etat, des französischen Staatsrates auftaucht. Für diesen Film hat nämlich Jacques Attali, Mitterands Berater, die Vorlage des Drehbuches geliefert. Man könnte mal wieder Warburgsche Spiralen zeichnen.

Einem Verwechslungs- und Formwanderwissenschaftler könnte bei diesem Film mal wieder das Herz hoch und über den Gartenzaun hüpfen: Julian Glover spielt in diesem Film nämlich Max Moritz Warburg, aber in dem James- Bond-Film "For your eyes only" spielt Glover den Magnaten, Reeder und Weltverschwörer Aristoteles Kristatos und bei Star Wars "The Empire strikes back" wiederum spielt Glover General MaximilianVeers. Man sagt darum, Glover sei eine zeitlang auf die Rolle des Bösewichtes gebucht gewesen. Jetzt steht das Gesicht von Max Moritz Warburg aka Julian Glover aber selbst wie eine Pathosformel vor uns. Vater und Sohn Cassel spielen ebenfalls mit, Jean-Pierre spielt George (den Vater von Siegmund) Warburg, bei Vincent bin ich mir nicht sicher.

Meine Videothek ist schon wirklich groß, aber den Film habe ich leider auch nicht. Wenn ich diesen Film über un homme d'influence aber hätte, dann würde ich ihn gleich neben John Cassavetes' A Woman under influence einsortieren, der guten Nachbarschaft wegen.

Katlyn Conroy is the resident Kate Bush in Lawrence, Kansas. Under her latest creative project, Cheery, she goes full Katlyn as we’re taken on a heartbreaking, dramatic, and extremely fashionable journey of color explosions and dancing. We’re treated to all of Conroy’s strongest traits: songwriting, singing, and all the synth noises one musician can muster. But we’re also treated to her artist capabilities beyond music. Conroy has always been known for her creative eye, illustrating flyers for half the town and even crafting her own costumes for live shows. All of that is on display in full effect for 'Concept of Love.' It leaves the viewer with a volcano of emotions– on the one hand, her voice is so soothing and beautiful… but on the other hand, there are a lot of exciting things to look at in the video. [via iheartlocalmusic]

Cash & Skye, have released their debut single via Third Man Records. The duo is comprised of Henri Cash (founding member and guitarist of LA rockers Starcrawler) and Sophia Skye, daughter of Rilo Kiley bassist Pierre de Reeder. A-side 'No More Candy' is out now digitally, as is B-side 'Sweeping Wet Floors.' “I feel like a lot of people in their early 20s try really hard to act ‘all grown up’ or too cool and it sucks,” says Cash. “‘No More Candy’ is about our love for candy and fun.” [via Northern Transmissions]

Aussie artist Monet’s Pond only just debuted with her hazy, neo-psychedelia/ dream-pop in the form of 'Floating In Air' – an untethered, gravity-defying song that swirls with fuzzy guitars and ethereal vocal production. Monet’s Pond is now pairing that single fittingly with a kaleidoscopic and nostalgic music video. Filled with vibrant psych colours and hypnotising effects, the playful video is an up-close and personal introduction to songstress Brigette Lawrence. Wrapped up in a wonderful dream-pop world, the visuals parallel the sentiments in the lyrics that have Lawrence drawing on her own experiences where she explores the importance of protecting oneself from toxic relationships. [via SPILL Magazine]

At the end of June, Chicago-based musician Squirrel Flower released one of the most interesting albums of 2021. Planet (i) is a map of busted roads and markers of where natural disasters made their marks on this earth. Its expansiveness matched the terrifying power and gorgeous beauty that Mother Nature holds at her fingertips. Now, Squirrel Flower has dropped the stunning video for her single 'Roadkill' that features singer-songwriter Ella Williams lost in shadows, peeling her skin, and lost amongst waves. The video for 'Roadkill' was directed by Lua Borges, produced by Elaine Tunnat, and features director of photography John Jadkowski. Williams detailed how it all came together: “The first night when we shot the indoor footage there was a tornado that swept through Chicago a mile from where we were, and we were stuck inside the studio at 12 a.m. as the wind and rain shook the windows and water spilled from the ceiling,” she said. “When we filmed the outdoor shots at the Indiana Dunes on July 3, I could see Chicago across the lake and it looked like a floating city next to the peach sun. We drove back to the city at night with hundreds of fireworks going off all around us and on the horizon. The folks who made the video are really rare people and cherished collaborators of mine and really captured the essence of the song.” [via FLOOD]

Baby Queen has dropped a video for her new single ‘You Shaped Hole’. The track – the latest in a long line of pop bangers – arrives ahead of her mixtape the Yearbook, out September 3. “I was super heartbroken when I wrote this song,” she says, “and my ex was dating this beautiful supermodel after dumping me in Clissold Park in North East London. I went through a bit of a wild phase, as one does, and was doing everything I could possibly do to feel better. At the time I had this image in my mind of a hole inside my body that was shaped exactly like my ex, and it was as if I was trying to fill that hole in any way I could, but the things I was filling it with never reached the corners or made me feel any better, they just cluttered my life. I really wanted this video to bring the adolescent tumult of the song to life,” she adds of the video. “It’s set in a high school in North East London and follows a solitary journey through heartbreak, pain and the boundless determination to rise above those feelings. I wanted to capture the passion I felt when I wrote it, and there was something about the idea of dancing around empty hallways and yelling the lyrics into the abyss that felt intimate and strangely familiar.” [via Dork]

'Cuban Heel' was a highlight amongst highlights on CLEWS' new record Loveluck Omens, capturing the infatuation central to the EP's core themes as well as the rich indie-rock sonics that underpin much of their sound. "'Cuban Heel' came out of a strange short story I wrote about a girl finding her life’s companion," says Lily, drawing meaning out of the vocals that dance amongst the hazy, yet indulgent production. "This song is about infatuation, so it suits that it came from a fictional story. I imagine a young girl falling in love with an older man but not knowing what to do with all her feelings." Directed by Maya Luana, the video hints at the soft, care-free romanticism that underpins much of the EP's meaning, doubling down on the single's rich sound through a visual lens, while also presenting the core idea of Cuban Heel through a different light. "'Cuban Heel' is more of an imaginary story of young love than it is autobiographical, so we wanted the video to match this strange and surreal feeling," the duo say on the video. "Our director Maya Luana's take on the video was inspired by nights out in Sydney, running around the city young and carefree. This song is about the power love, lust and infatuation can have over you so Maya gave us magical powers in the video." [via Pilerats]

Sunmi has finally dropped the action-packed music video for her new single, ‘You Can’t Sit With Us’. In the video, Sunmi declines calls and messages from a persistent ex-lover. “I hate you,” she later screams at him through the phone when he calls repeatedly. Things take a deadly turn when she throws a flowerpot at him, which hits him in the head, when he appears outside her window. Sunmi later heads to in a retro-themed DVD rental store, where she and her friends browse through the shelves before being interrupted by her ex, now back as a zombie. The group then engage in an thrilling gunfight against a horde of zombies. “Don’t call me, ‘honey’ / ‘Cause I ain’t gon’ be no sweet girl,” she raps in English on the second verse. The synthwave-inspired ‘You Can’t Sit With Us’ is the title track of Sunmi’s latest mini-album, 1/6. The six-track project also include album cuts such as the summer-inspired song ‘SUNNY’ and the laid-back ‘1/6’. [via NME]

PVRIS have released a video for their new single, ‘Monster’. The track follows on from the band’s latest album Use Me, released last year. “‘Monster’ is a song about reckoning with outside opinions and expectations put upon oneself,” frontwoman Lynn Gunn explains. “It can be easy to take on the weight of negative situations/opinions, this is about the struggle of releasing those inhibitions and internalizations and returning back to yourself.” [via Dork]

MAY-A has dropped a new video for ‘Central Station’. The clip arrives alongside her exceptional debut EP Don’t Kiss Your Friends, out now via Atlantic Records. “Don’t Kiss Ur Friends follows the course of a relationship, a journey of queer discovery, and the growth from an adolescent to a young adult,” she explains. “Each song is a piece of the last four or five years of my life, the most recent track having been written last year and the earliest at 16. As the music developed, so did I. You can listen to me grow up, gain confidence and understand myself through the way I approach my relationships.” [via Dork]

Leeds based alt-pop artist Ruby Duff drops her sugary pop track 'Party,' focusing on the aftermath of partying a bit too hard. The playful track shines a spotlight on the versatility of Duff’s vocals that shift seamlessly from syrupy to sultry, the energy swinging between childish delight and adult world weariness. The relatable message of the production is offset by the fantastical elements brought alive by the visuals, reflective what Duff describes as “the vast extremities” that lay between the highs and lows in life. Pushing the confines of pop music in an experimental fusion of soundscapes, Duff has built a global fanbase for her ability to bring stories alive through her craft - often with her fluid song writing process led by melodies that take root in her mind as dreams. Paired with an Alice in Wonderland inspired music video, directed by Alma Rosaz, the track reflects Duff’s signature style of drawing inspiration from her own life. “Ever partied too hard? Yup me too" states Duff. "‘Party’ is about the anticipation of a single moment in life to then the great downfall. Working with Alma Rosaz on our video helped me to portray the vast extremities of exactly this yet in a playful way - just as the track does! But also who wouldn’t like puppies, glitter hot dogs and snow globe martinis right?” Balancing a quirky youthfulness with a talent for penning thoughtful lyrics, Duff’s music can be best described in her own words as “A picture that we are all part of. A story we can all tell. A lullaby we can all hum,” and 'Party,' with its delicate yet bold soundscape is the perfect representation of this one-of-a-kind artistry that Duff has quietly developed over her career. [via Line Of Best Fit]

South London riser Cat Burns has shared her soulful new bop 'Into You'. The Streatham songwriter uses technology to her advantage, amassing an army of fans on TikTok. But there's raw talent there, as well; she's a natural vocalist, while the twist and turn of her lyricism shows real insight. Take new song 'Into You'. It's about falling in love, the thrills and insecurities that are part of immersing yourself in someone else's life. The soulful vocal is interrupted by a voicemail in the middle eight, demolishing the line between life and art. She explains... “For the song I really wanted to talk about the first stages of getting to know someone, it’s exciting, it's nerve racking and you put a lot of pressure on yourself so I wanted the song to represent that. I wanted to showcase how pure black queer love is, how gentle and tender it is, and i think the video accurately shows that.” [via Clash]

Aimee Mann has announced her new album Queens Of The Summer Hotel, her follow-up to 2017’s excellent Mental Illness. She’s got a new song for us, too. Three years ago, Mann announced that she was writing music for a stage musical version of Girl, Interrupted. In working on the songs Mann tapped into her own mental health struggles, and when the pandemic put the musical plans on hold, Mann turned those songs into her own record. That’s what Queens Of The Summer Hotel is. Mann has shared the video for first single 'Suicide Is Murder,' a dark and detached and lovely song. Mann sings about the “motive, means, and opportunity” needed to plan out the end of your life, as if it’s a crime scene. Talking about 'Suicide Is Murder,' Mann says: "I started to write this song because I’ve known people who committed suicide and friends who’ve had loved ones die from suicide. I think the phrase “suicide is murder” took on a meaning for me as it’s the worst thing to have to deal with in the aftermath. It’s just terrible. Because every person who knows the person who committed suicide will blame themselves in some way for not noticing or stepping in or doing something. They’ll till the end of their days, say, “Was there something I could have done?” Mann’s regular collaborators Rob Hatch-Miller and Puloma Basu directed the 'Suicide Is Murder' video, and it stars the character actor and Hal Hartley favorite James Urbaniak as a man who is considering ending things, using a game of Clue to imagine how me might do it. It’s pretty heavy. [via Stereogum]

NAHLI’s talent precedes her; her unique raw and sparkling approach to her music, style and life as an artist has been highlighted in depth via her features on tracks such as Professor Green’s ‘Bad Decisions’, Rude Kid’s ‘Please Don’t’, Crystal Fighters ‘Costa Rica’ and Conducta’s ‘Only U’ but as she flies solo on her new single ‘Something’s Gotta Change’, NAHLI’s level of talent can really be admired in its glory. In a thought-provoking statement, ‘Something’s Gotta Change’ epitomises who NAHLI is as an artist. It’s not just a single, it’s more than that, just as NAHLI isn’t just an artist. A spokesperson, an activist, a colourful array of talent, thought and lyricism, NAHLI is using her craft for purpose and ‘Something’s Gotta Change’ marks the start of that. Understanding the catalyst of the creation, NAHLI explains, “The world is starting to allow triggering messages in film and TV series, more and more every day. We’re seeing more understanding of LGBTQIA+. We’re seeing more representation of race and colour. We’re broadening our minds. We’re no longer brushing topics like rape and racism and discrimination under the rug. The media is no longer turning their backs on women claiming to be a ‘victim’ or for ‘asking for it’ or ‘she wore provocative clothing’. NOW is the time for change. I want people to feel empowered by this track. You’re not alone anymore. This is a movement. This is my absolute proudest work.”

Pop singer-songwriter Eves Karydas has announced a new EP, Reruns, arriving next month. Karydas’ six-track EP will be released on September 24 through Dew Process. To mark the announcement, the artist released a new single, ‘Lemonade’. The upbeat track was co-written with Plested and collective The 23rd, and describes a break-up with a former partner. An accompanying music video, directed by Natalie Sim, depicts Karydas and a number of dancers in a lemon orchard and on the coast. “I wrote this in the midst of a breakup about the delicate balance between playing it cool and moving on but also allowing myself to feel let down. I hope you loooooveeee it,” Karydas said in an Instagram post. The singer elaborated further in a press statement, saying, “‘Well I didn’t want to write an FU song…‘ pretty much sums up ‘Lemonade’. It’s about reaching the end of my limit and being super frustrated with how a relationship panned out. “I wanted to explore the delicate feeling of playing it cool and moving on but also allowing myself to feel let down. That, plus I just really like lemonade.” [via NME]

Los Angeles based rock duo Dead Posey is back with a vengeance in their new track 'Russian Roulette'. Not only that, but fans can also look forward to Dead Posey’s debut album in early 2022. Speaking on the new release, the band shares: “Between the plague shutting down the world, poisonous politics, and the battle with our own demons, this song is the first shot against it all. 'Russian Roulette' is the nagging black rabbit hole in your head that can make you go insane and doubt everything you’re doing. It’s our ‘fuck you’ rage that’s been boiling beneath the surface begging to get out." [via Outburn]

Bedroom pop act Solo Career, the project of Dharawal / Illawarra artist Annabel Blackman (also known as singer/lead guitarist in acclaimed rock group, Body Type), shares her first official single ‘Movie’, alongside news of her debut EP The Sentimentalist, due September 17 via Dinosaur City Records. Written, recorded, produced and mixed by Blackman at her DIY home studio, ‘Movie’ features an icy guitar line, motorik drums and a driving bassline, with Annabel’s brusque vocals floating listlessly in the thick of the mix. On the story behind the track, Blackman reveals: “I wrote ‘Movie’ after seeing ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’. It was an idyllic afternoon; I walked into the old movie theatre at Bulimba in QLD with my family looking forward to an enthralling experience. We left the cinema an age later. Grandpa looked wiped, everyone was quiet, and then the bickering started and didn’t stop till we settled down at home and watched a movie starring Beyonce. The whole experience sent me into a doom spiral and made me question the integrity of my family unit.” Talking about the songwriting process, Blackman adds: “I started writing this song a couple of years ago. I had an idea for the guitar line when I was walking home from work and tried to make it work for ages. It wasn’t until I wrote the lyrics that I was able to mash it together into something I was happy with.” [via The Partae]

‘The Human Condition’ is a new track from the recently formed Stina Marie Claire, a musical project from established Glaswegian artist Honeyblood (AKA Stina Tweeddale). Founded after the pandemic saw her supporting tour slot with Foo Fighters postponed, the development of the project was a Patreon-exclusive creative venture over lockdown. Her latest song is a departure from her usual sound, opening with buzzing, stuttering synths and melting into a delightfully fuzzy chorus. There is an undeniably 90s feel. “2020 was a strange year. Trying to navigate the challenges of COVID-19, I set up a wonderful online community, inviting those who love my music to come on a unique journey with me,” Tweedale says of the experience. “These fans were able to be a part of my creative process every step of the way; an eye-opening experience not just for them but for me. We made this release together, collaborating directly from artist to fan. If anything, this experience has been a shining beacon of creativity in a time where keeping the embers of inspiration has been so difficult.” Stina Marie Claire will release of A Souvenir of a Terrible Year EP in October on Iceblink Luck, a label co-founded with her friend Robert Kilpatrick from the Scottish Music Industry Association.

Kito returns with 'Steal My Clothes' ft. Bea Miller – a highly relatable tale about being irresistibly drawn to someone despite their capacity for wrecking your life and raiding your closet. Kito creates an effervescent dance-pop track with her signature production elements and distinct distorted vocal chops as Miller wryly lays out a sequence of chaotic situations. The official video mirrors the song’s playfulness. Miller performs for a sparse crowd at a community centre. Working the room, she finds a unique way of connecting with her audience, which includes Kito. As she stops at each table, Miller morphs into the apparel of whomever she is singing to. The video was directed by GIZELLA (Dillon Francis, Seinabo Sey), who has helmed many of Miller’s videos. [via the Music Essentials]

She’s not afraid to make key changes

Los Angeles Times September 24, 2008

Jenny Lewis, 32, involved her family - blood and musical - on her new solo album, "Acid Tongue." 

By Ann Powers

Jenny Lewis no longer calls Silver Lake home, but she hasn’t moved to Laurel Canyon. The woodsy bungalow she shares with her companion and musical collaborator, Johnathan Rice, sits in an obscure corner of the San Fernando Valley, not too far from either of the neighborhoods favored by L.A.'s rock elite, but on its own ground.

“I feel like this is an undiscovered area,” said the 32-year-old singer-songwriter on a recent Friday afternoon.

As Lewis discussed her latest solo album, “Acid Tongue,” out this week on Warner Bros. Records, Rice padded around in his swim trunks, tending to some barbecue. Domestic bliss, interrupted by the occasional interview; such is life for a modestly famous member of the city’s creative class.

“Lewis, is that you squeaking? What is that noise?” Rice called into the room at one point.

“No babe,” she said. “That must have been a bird.”

Lewis is comfortable in undiscovered neighborhoods, off to the side of the action. You hear some cool, weird sounds in places like this.

Fans of well-wrought pop have been following Lewis’ quest for the unexpected since she co-founded Rilo Kiley with Blake Sennett, a former child actor like herself, in 1998. That band was part of a shift in indie music away from heavy, primal rock toward a more eclectic, self-consciously literate sound. Along with allies including Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes and the Decemberists, Rilo Kiley picked up the line that connects J.D. Salinger to Elvis Costello to David Foster Wallace to the guitar-strumming, creative writing undergrads of today.

For Lewis, however, Rilo Kiley isn’t enough. All the members of that now on-again, off-again band have side projects; her solo efforts have found the biggest audience. “Rabbit Fur Coat,” the 2006 album she made with the vocal duo the Watson Twins, was a critical favorite and one of Billboard’s Top 10 Independent Albums of 2006.

Rilo Kiley’s fourth album, last year’s “Under the Blacklight,” wasn’t as well-loved as that release; since then, fans have pondered whether Lewis might leave the band for good.

“We’ll see what kind of songs I’ll write, and that’s going to guide me,” she said. “We don’t hang out as much as we used to, but it’s been that way for a couple of years, Jason [Boesel, Rilo’s drummer] played on my record, and Pierre [de Reeder, bassist] and I did the album art together. So we’re involved in each others’ lives. We’re family, really. And even if we don’t make another record, we’ll still be a family.”

Musicians often naturally move beyond the nuclear unit of a band, but Lewis hasn’t given up on family. Scattered or shattered kinship is a dominant theme in her songs, especially on “Rabbit Fur Coat,” which was partially a meditation on her parents’ broken marriage. “Acid Tongue” forms family in a different way. There are special appearances by her sister, Leslie Lewis, and her father, Eddie Gordon, a harmonica virtuoso who spent much of Lewis’ childhood touring in a group called the Harmonicats.

“The act was very schticky,” Lewis said, smiling.

Lewis had never played music with her dad, but the sessions for “Acid Tongue” provided the right atmosphere. This was due to her other family, the circle of musicians she’s been cultivating for the past 10 years.

“I knew I was surrounded by my friends and that they would treat him with respect, and he’d feel comfortable,” she said. “And it was really lovely having him. He hung out in the studio for a couple of days, and my sister came down and she sang on a couple of songs, which was incredible.”

“Acid Tongue” has an all-star roster -- Elvis Costello, Zooey Deschanel, M. Ward, A Perfect Circle bassist Paz Lenchantin and Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes all participated -- but these better-known names represent just a fraction of Lewis’ crew. Other key players include Rice, who co-wrote several of the new album’s songs; producers Farmer Dave Scher and Jason Lader; and singer-songwriters Benji Hughes and Jonathan Wilson.

Lewis wanted to capture the atmosphere she’d encountered at Wilson’s Laurel Canyon house parties. “We’d go to these jams in the canyon,” she said. “They’re fantastic. Jonathan invites older session musicians from the real Laurel Canyon era, and younger people who are just starting their bands who happen to live in the canyon, and we all get together and sing Grateful Dead covers and J.J. Cale songs.”

She sighed. “ ‘Jam,’ a word I don’t often use. That and ‘gig bag,’ those are the two I try to avoid!”

Her joke exposed a conflict within Lewis, between a longing for the connections artists shared when Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young wandered Laurel Canyon, and her suspicions about the nostalgia that longing represents. The tension, not unrelated to Lewis’ fragmented upbringing, becomes artistically fruitful when she feels safe enough to explore it musically.

“She is the songbird of the scene,” said Wilson, reached by phone in Chicago, where he is touring. “I see her cut loose when she comes over and maybe she does a song that she’s hearing for the first time. I definitely hear it on the album, that sense of freedom. Who better to implement that than her? Because she’s a bird. Not only can she write songs but she’s got the technical thing, it’s just completely effortless.”

“Acid Tongue” abounds with genre experiments that take dangerous turns. “Black Sand” is a “Teen Angel"-style car-crash ballad that substitutes misogynistic murder for the dead man’s curves of the early 1960s. “Fernando” is a rockabilly romp that celebrates Mexican vacationing as a route to oblivion.

The gospel-flavored “Jack Killed Mom” is about, you guessed it, matricide. And in the title track, a country-pop ballad Dolly Parton could have written if she’d gone to Woodstock, Lewis presents herself as a female adventurer whose ultimate prize is exhaustion.

“Everything tends to be a response to the thing that I’ve written before,” Lewis said of her songwriting process. “It’s even as simple as, ‘OK, I’ve written a ballad, now I want to push myself to write something that’s uptempo.’ If I’m writing about myself, well, that subject can be tiresome, so then I focus on character-driven songs. So I’m always doing this back-and-forth just to keep myself interested.”

This drive to try new approaches is a quality Lewis shares with Costello, her onetime admirer (a few years back, he started declaring Lewis his favorite young songwriter) and current occasional collaborator. The alternative rock statesman proves a spirited duet partner on “Carpetbaggers,” a Rice composition on “Acid Tongue.” The session inspired Costello to make his 35th album, “Momofuku,” upon which Lewis and her posse appear.

“On the day we finished my record he booked the studio for about a week and finished what would become ‘Momofuku,’ ” Lewis said. “I was like, ‘I’m backing him?’ I truly can’t believe it. And he’s so cool. He’s a chiller, that’s what we’d say in Southern California.”

Chill is a state Lewis favors these days. She kept the sessions for “Acid Tongue” as open as possible, inviting her friends to drop by and join in on the analog equipment at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, near where she grew up. Each song was left more or less intact after recording -- no fixing on Pro Tools. This approach was a typical switch for the songwriter, away from the slicker “Under the Blacklight” and toward that more grass-roots feel.

She’s still proud of “Blacklight,” though it divided Rilo Kiley fans. Some questioned the band’s motivations in making a more commercial album. At the time, Lewis favored wearing very short skirts or hotpants onstage; one music journalist, Kate Richardson, created a flow chart of Rilo Kiley’s decline as it correlated to the rise in Lewis’ hemlines.

“Part of her appeal is that she at least used to write these really good, sad, bitter songs that were kinda sharp,” said Richardson, who crafted the chart for Idolator.com. “She had a lot of emotion behind her. But she’s also really hot, really cute. So girls were projecting and guys thought she was really attractive. As she started owning the sexual part of her image more, I thought that was fine, good for her. But it coincidentally went along with a change in their sound.”

Lewis took it in stride. “That’s what you get with a record like ‘Under the Blacklight,’ she said. “I was wearing hot pants and singing about sexuality. Not everyone understood that we were poking fun.”

Lewis said she might be ready for a new persona -- another step in her restless evolution. “It doesn’t really have to do with that response,” she said. “It’s just my own back-and-forth with what I do. So I want to wear hot pants, and then I want to wear cargo pants.”

She laughed. “Now, that would be really flattering.” Some things, perhaps, are best left undiscovered.
