Over the years, a reunion 'felt like a possibility, but it was never the right time', explains Boesel. 'Planning this reunion over these past months has been like reconnecting with family. We haven't missed a beat', says De Reeder. 'The stakes are only to have a good time, to revel in this nostalgia. Getting to revisit and celebrate the music from that special time of our lives while experiencing it alongside a lot of people that lived it with us back when, and new folks alike'. The album is a collection of career-spanning songs that hit its audience with a breath of honest, fresh air. 'For some people, Rilo Kiley evokes a formative, emotional time in life, when you were maybe grasping for your place in the universe. We were too', says Sennett.
