'''''Rilo Kiley''''', also known as '''''The Initial Friend EP''''' is an album released three different times by the band [[Rilo Kiley]], first in 1999, then in 2000, and lastly in 2001. Each release shared several songs, but also included some new songs or rearrangements of the older songs. Combined together, they are the equivalent of a single album.

The first two albums do not list the composers of each song, but The Initial Friend EP lists [[Jenny Lewis]] and [[Blake Sennet]] as the composers of all the songs on the album, however, there are four songs not included on the EP that are on the previous albums. I presume that Jenny and Blake wrote those as well, but I can't confirm it.

I got a copy of these three albums combined onto a single CD from the friend who introduced me into the band. I believe it was after I had purchased the first two studio albums. I loved the album right away, and, despite it having low production quality, I love the feel of the music. Most of the songs are American indie pop infused with country/western aspects creating a smooth enjoyable sound coupled with pretty depressing lyrics. But, the unfiltered view into the life of the composers is rather cathartic because it reminds you that your missteps and failed relationships are typical.
 +
 
 +
I would love to acquire these albums to complete my collection.

Rilo Kiley

Rilo Kiley - Rilo Kiley.jpg

CD - USA - 1st edition.
Artist Rilo Kiley
Published 1999-??-??
Type Studio
Genre Indie pop
Themes Relationships, self-doubt, breakups

Rilo Kiley is an indie pop album released four different times by the band Rilo Kiley, first in 1999, then in 2000, then in 2001 as The Initial Friend EP, and finally on 2020-10-02. Each release shared several songs, but also included some new songs or rearrangements of the older songs. Combined together, they are the equivalent of a single album.

The first two albums do not list the composers of each song, but The Initial Friend EP lists Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett as the composers of all the songs on the album, however, there are four songs not included on the EP that are on the previous albums. I presume that Jenny and Blake wrote those as well, but I can't confirm it.

Personal

Own?No.

I got a copy of these three albums combined onto a single CD from the friend who introduced me into the band. I believe it was after I had purchased the first two studio albums. I loved the album right away, and, despite it having low production quality, I love the feel of the music. Most of the songs are American indie pop infused with country/western aspects creating a smooth enjoyable sound coupled with pretty depressing lyrics. But, the unfiltered view into the life of the composers is rather cathartic because it reminds you that your missteps and failed relationships are typical.

I would love to acquire these albums to complete my collection.
