Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Desert Blue has all the makings of a hipster's delight. The indie-damaged, but heartfelt, bedroom musings of singer-songwriters Ben Lee and Cat Power juxtapose nicely with the nascent feminism of vintage tunes by Nancy Sinatra and Janis Ian. And the album's standout track, a duet between Nina Persson (the Cardigans) and Nathan Larson (Shudder to Think) is a country-laced acoustic ballad of real resonance. But soon enough, the hipness turns hapless as Desert Blue gets mired in the open-mic-nite-at-the-coffeehouse amateurism of newcomers Rilo Kiley and Bic Runga. Collectively, the songs here don't convey any sense of tone or place that a capable soundtrack should. Instead, they just leave you feeling lucky you aren't as mopey and self-obsessed as the film's music supervisor must be. --Matt Hanks

Desert Blue has a great soundtrack and the album is now one of my favourites. I look forward to an album by Rilo Kiley and hopefully they will tour soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the freeway drive home., June 29, 1999

By A Customer

Now on my daily play list as I drive home. Each song is very mellow and the song by Rilo Kiley "The Frug" is really catchy and should hit the charts. I reccomend for young or old.

Rilo Kiley is as good a group as I have heard. This album will be discovered and will become one of the biggest sellers online
