"They chart up your insides and put them on display."

Today was spent mostly in doctor's offices, getting prescriptions and set up in the Toronto health system. As whenever I am off to a medical appointment, snippets of Rilo Kiley's "The Good That Won't Come Out" creep into my head (I do this thing where I think I'm real sick/but I won't go to the doctor to find out about it/Cause they make you stay real still in a real small space/As they chart up your insides and put them on display./They'd see all of it, all of me, all of it.). I've been a huge RK fan since first introduced to them by my friend Joseph. I have been eagerly awaiting their new release Under the Blacklight, and seeing them live in Toronto at the Phoenix on September 18th. "The Moneymaker" is the first track to be released so far, and while it is not a horrible song per say, it definitely made me wince a bit and wonder what the hell the new album was going to sound like (at least the video is entertaining). Then I heard a leaked track of "Silver Lining", and my thoughts of impending music suck where quickly quelled. This song makes me unbelievably happy and bouncy, and The Watson Twin's backing is just superb. I've also heard "Dreamworld", which is okay in it's own right, but not being so much of a Blake Sennet fan, I could have really done without his vocal additions to the song. In anticipation of the new release (21 more days!), I present you with three tracks from the upcoming album:

For your ears -
