Ep. 2 - Deep Dive: Rilo Kiley & Bell Witch | Sound Sagas


Listen Later

Ever been to a live concert that you'll forever carry in your heart? That's the kind of reminiscing we'll be doing today!

First, Will takes us back to an unforgettable Rilo Kiley show during the More Adventurous tour. It was more than just a concert: it was an experience complete with a pirate band opening act and atmosphere that blurred the lines between fantasy and reality. They say the charm of Rilo Kiley is in their authenticity and the timelessness of their music, so we discuss just that. We also delve into the cathartic journey of Rilo Kiley's young musicians gaining Hollywood's attention.

Then, Andrew shifts the gears a bit, introducing funeral doom band Bell Witch, a drummer and bassist duo who are intimately versed in the style's somber and meditative penchant.
