In addition, Rilo Kiley will reissue their 2002 sophomore album The Execution of All Things on April 25 through Saddle Creak. The so-called 'Frozen Lake Edition' will be available as a single LP, a deluxe LP with a bonus 7-inch vinyl single and on CD. Click here to pre-order.
'It's going to be wonderful for us, like going back to the purest version of yourself — that early '20s place where everything is possible,' says Lewis, who is flanked in Rilo Kiley by Blake Sennett, Pierre De Reeder and Jason Boesel. 'You're in a van and Jason's got the map, Pierre is behind the wheel, and I'm on the shitty acoustic guitar on the bench seat working out a new song with Blake. I don't think it's ever been as good as that, when it was just us against the world.'
Rilo Kiley released four well-regarded albums between 2001 and 2007, after which Lewis has focused on her solo career and participated in two, 10-years-apart reunions of the Postal Service. The closest the group has come to reuniting was in 2015, when Sennett made a surprise appearance during Lewis' solo Coachella set to play the Rilo Kiley song 'Portions for Foxes.'
In 2012, they teased fans with a Facebook message saying that a 'record is almost finished,' but the project in question turned out to be the rarities collection Rkives, which was eventually released the following year.
