I got a personal email today from Rilo Kiley bassist Pierre de Reeder where he tells me he’s “a happy Pampelmoose visitor” which seems very polite of him. His email was to say that tomorrow he steps out and delivers his solo debut ‘The Way That it Was‘ through Little Record Company.
Pierre’s press release name drops Harry Nilsson which is a good start. It goes on to say that it includes collaborations with, among others, co-producer Dave Trumfio [Built To Spill, Wilco, Grandaddy] and Rilo Kiley bandmates Jenny Lewis [who also has a new album coming], Blake Sennett and Jason Boesel.
Written over the past five years, ‘The Way That It Was‘ was penned entirely by Pierre and took shape in various locations, including Pierre’s home and the Kingsize Studios in Eagle Rock. Have a listen below.
Pierre de Reeder – The Long Conversation
for his sake, I hope it’s better than his band’s offerings. aspiring to be fleetwood mac (california version) is nothing to be proud of. revisionist history is a bitch.
