Career

Early beginnings

“Blake Sennett and Jarrod Gorbel had no intention of being in a band together when they started writing the songs that evolved into Night Terrors of 1927. They were just trying something different. "I think we each had let go of the idea of being anything we'd ever been before," says Sennett, whose previous projects include The Elected and Rilo Kiley. "I had given up the band dream in a way that has been kind of reborn in me. I had put it in the ground and buried it and was like, 'Cool, I'll just write and produce and that's where I'll go".[ citation needed ] The duo have posted a handful of tracks to their SoundCloud page and released a debut EP via Atlantic on November 11, 2013. "When You Were Mine" impacted radio on October 14, 2014. [2] In November 2014, the duo released a single featuring Canadian pop duo Tegan and Sara, and in January 2015, they released their first album, Everything's Coming Up Roses. In March and April, the group supported Bleachers on their headlining US tour, dubbed Bleachers Come Alive!. [3]

<i>The Execution of All Things</i> 2002 studio album by Rilo Kiley

The Execution of All Things is the second full-length album released by Los Angeles-based indie pop band Rilo Kiley. Expanding on their previous musical sound that mostly incorporated guitars, vocals, percussion and pianos, the album contains heavy electronica sampling mixed into the songs in a rather unusual and displaced-sounding way. Also, unlike their previous tracks which were written in very traditional manners, the lyrics to the songs on Execution are very wordy and read like prose. Musically, the record has a very sunny disposition, with bouncing bass lines and simple melodies complemented by lead singer Jenny Lewis's vocal style, but the upbeat music is generally counterpointed by the often dark and morose subject matter that the lyrics reference. The album was released by Saddle Creek Records in Omaha, Nebraska, and the aforementioned features show the influence of that studio's associated Omaha Sound. It was recorded at Presto! in Lincoln, Nebraska.
