Jenny Lewis is a singer-songwriter from Los Angeles, CA. Most days (and nights) you can find Jenny Lewis singing and playing with Rilo Kiley, a quartet whose third album, 2004’s More Adventurous, has charmed and delighted fans and peers worldwide. 2005 alone saw Rilo Kiley garner accolades from heroes (Elvis Costello), magazine covers by the fistful, and a spot opening for Coldplay on their recent sold-out arena tour. But in the tiny moments between the stage and the studio, after the photo shoots but before the bars, Jenny spends time by herself, daydreaming and strumming on her acoustic guitar. And the sound of that time alone is Rabbit Fur Coat, Jenny’s first solo album.
“There’s a need to keep writing even after you finish a record,” says Jenny about the downtime that followed the occasionally tumultuous recording of More Adventurous, “but it’s taken me some years to feel confident writing alone. Now I realize the privacy behooves my songwriting. I was more relaxed and worked on these songs at my leisure.” Still, even with a bevy of “private” songs cluttering up the corners of her brain (“they were slightly more sedate, more word-focused”), Jenny had no plans to release or even record the lot of them. It took a Bright Eye-d friend to convince her otherwise. “I didn’t even consider making a solo record until Conor asked me a couple of years ago,” she laughs. “He said he was starting a label, Team Love, and he’d love for me to make a record for it.”

I'd seen them live in Paris in 2006 :-) She's so sweet!!! The venue was small and she managed to turn it into an intimate night with friends! Of course I bought the album after that! Brilliant!

I agree. Rabbit Fur Coat is absolutely impeccable. Acid Tongue has some great songs, but Jenny's voice is so beautiful on RFC, it makes me want to cry.

aww come on why isn't there an option on lastfm to merge automatically, after a number of requests, two song? we have at least THREE different spelling of rise up with fists, not counting the ones sang by "jenny lewis" without the watson twins in the artist field. i'm such an order maniac, i know.

I've realized how perfect this one-off was now, after years of disliking them and then finally liking them. I've come to love the collab, and wish Acid Tongue would have lived up to it.
