Music Video: Jenny Lewis, "See Fernando"
She made us wait a while, but Jenny Lewis has really been pumping out the music videos lately. And this latest, for "See Fernando" off her album Acid Tongue, might just be my favorite yet. Let's examine the evidence: Lewis in all her retro glory starring in a fake trailer for a '60s spy movie?
Music Video: "Black Sand" by Jenny Lewis
Well, it took a little while, given that Jenny Lewis's album Acid Tongue was released back in the Fall of 2008, but we now have a video for one of the singles! "Black Sand" is one of my favorite tracks on the album and I include it in many of my playlists. It's bluesy and atmospheric and the melody reminds me of the kind of thing you would hear on an album like Abbey Road.

Album Review: Jenny Lewis's Acid Tongue
When Jenny Lewis first went solo from Rilo Kiley, she had the Watson Twins to help her let us into her most soulful, folksy thoughts with each song. That debut was excellent and, like Death Cab's Ben Gibbard, I've been excitedly awaiting her next solo project, Acid Tongue. Today we can hear the whole thing for the first time on her MySpace page.
Song of the Day: Jenny Lewis, "The Next Messiah"
If you're eager to hear Jenny Lewis's forthcoming album, then you — and I — are in good company. Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard's also ready for Acid Tongue to hit stores, and in a series of YouTube sketches over the past few days, he's been stalking Lewis around her house, demanding to hear some new songs.
Lucky for us, it's hard to say no to Gibbard, so Lewis has rolled out the second track from the new album (we've already heard the title track, "Acid Tongue").
