The visual aspect of this interview is far more exciting than any of the questions or answers.

Irrelevant Interviews: Jenny [Lewis] & Johnny [Rice] — Local Cut

Justin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 01:44:05 +0000

A new record usually means a million interviews with the same questions over and over, but that’s not the case here. You will not hear Jenny Lewis answer these questions anywhere else. Worth the read.

“It’s a bit surreal that a new group has developed this much hype this quickly, but given the fact that both Jenny and Johnny have their own legion of followers, I guess it’s not too surprising. (Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice have lengthy resumes…”

Brandon Flowers ft. Jenny Lewis – “Hard Enough”

Justin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 09:00:06 +0000

It’s a good time to be a Jenny Lewis fan; she has a new album out, and a guest spot on the new Brandon Flowers record.

…here’s another new track that features Jenny Lewis on backup vocals. Remember when Linda Ronstadt sang backup on Neil Young songs? This is nothing like that, but it’s not too bad.

Jenny Lewis Is Tired of Being in a Band

Justin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 08:49:56 +0000

One of the best interviews of Jenny Lewis that I’ve ever read.

Jenny Lewis has spent the last 10 years fronting successful indie-pop band Rilo Kiley, yet after four albums and countless tours with the L.A.–based quartet, she was restless and ready to work outside the confines of a band.

Jenny Lewis & Conor Oberst Perform Portions For Foxes

Jenny Lewis and Conor Oberst perform one of my favorite Rilo Kiley songs; Portions For Foxes. This is a great video. Cool song, cool guitar, cool camera angle.

Nice review and you can stream the entire album. You can also listen to the album on NPR’s awesome iPhone App. Once you have the app make sure to search “Jenny Lewis” and “Rilo Kiley” for past interviews and live performances.

On I’m Having Fun Now, the duo’s chemistry is audible: Lewis and Rice sing with the confidence of a more seasoned songwriting team, as they trade verses and craft beautiful harmonies throughout the album’s 11 pop-driven tracks.

I’m Having Fun Now by Jenny and Johnny | Rolling Stone Review

Justin — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:12:34 +0000

First review I’ve come across for I’m Having Fun Now.

“with Lewis and Rice often trading lines as if they’re arguing. The mood may be dark, but the record is a model of musical egalitarianism.

Spin Magazine Interviews Jenny Lewis & Johnathan Rice

Justin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 01:38:36 +0000

Cool interview with links to a couple free downloads from the upcoming record.

“Rilo Kiley frontwoman Jenny Lewis and Scottish singer-songwriter Johnathan Rice, a couple for five years, know how to have a good time: They go on shopping sprees at estate sales, watch Jacques Cousteau films, and take long drives up the California coast in their vintage station wagons. It’s only fitting, then, that their debut album as Jenny & Johnny is called I’m Having Fun Now (out August 31).”

Cool interview, and a second free download from “I’m Having Fun Now” (Jenny Lewis’ new record). I’m really looking forward to this record; the first two singles are great.

In today’s video (one of the duo’s first media appearances together), Jenny and Johnny — as they’re calling the act — tell us all about their album, I’m Having Fun Now (out August 31), from the front of their $900 ride. Even better, they agreed to give our readers (that means you!) an exclusive free download of their unreleased song “Big Wave.”
