Jenny Lewis's slip of the Acid Tongue

"Flat out great and no mistake. Jenny is up there with the best singer-songwriters..." Elvis Costello

Perhaps better known as co-lead singer in Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis is set to release her new solo album Acid Tongue, the follow-up to her internationally acclaimed 2006 album Rabbit Fur Coat.

Guests on the album include Elvis Costello for a duet on Carpetbaggers, Johnathan Rice, M Ward, Zooey Deschanel and Laurel Canyon's own Jonathan Wilson.

The all analogue, no Pro-Tools sessions were recorded in just 3 weeks. The album's tracks, disparate as they are, share a sparkling vitality; Lewis's voice has never sounded so expressive and the narratives have never been so hard-hitting and acerbic.

Acid Tongue is out October 4th.
