God complexities, secularism, love, sex, politics, and Elvis Costello — Jenny Lewis never ceases to explore new territories, new collaborations, new questions and new sounds with her music. She has remained steadfast and unapologetic ever since she came on to the music scene ten years ago with her band Rilo Kiley. On Jenny’s second solo album, Acid Tongue, she continues to dive deeper into a world of complex emotions, producing lyrics that inspire and creating sounds that are both unique and true to her style.
Being a struggling singer/songwriter in Los Angeles (a city that is crawling with my kind), there are times I come across a song that inspires me to keep at it and keep writing. The album’s title track is songwriting at its best. It’s so heartfelt, affecting and deeply personal, it made me think, “Damn, I wish I had written that myself.”
Lewis kicked off her current tour starting with two dates in the city she calls home — Los Angeles. More specifically, Silver Lake. Both venues, Spaceland and The Echo, were filled to capacity. I was lucky enough to catch the Spaceland show.
