For all the Jenny fans on TBY...

Jenny Lewis Reveals New Album Details

Yup, Elvis Costello, M. Ward, Zooey Deschanel, and the Black Crowes dude are all on there

Rilo Kiley frontlady Jenny Lewis has announced the title of her new solo album and confirmed its impressive list of guests. The follow-up to 2006's Rabbit Fur Coat is called Acid Tongue, and it comes out via Warner Bros. in September.

As previously mentioned in an unconfirmed report, Acid Tongue features collaborations with Elvis Costello, M. Ward, Zooey Deschanel, the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson, Beachwood Sparks' "Farmer Dave" Scher, Rilo Kiley producer Jason Lader, and singer/songwriter Johnathan Rice.

Also appearing on the record are Paz Lenchantin from A Perfect Circle (and her sister Ana), Davey Faragher of Elvis Costello's Imposters, and a couple members of Lewis' family. Her sister Leslie Lewis recorded some backing vocals, and her father, Eddie Gordon, played a little harmonica.

Lewis has tour dates in September and October in support of Acid Tongue, including a handful of shows opening up for Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst.

Fuck yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

I was just listening to Rabbit Fur Coat a few hours ago and was wondering when a new album would be out. Very good news.

[Sydneyfan]

Her vocals were all over Momofuku. I guess EC is returning the favour.

I really like that album cover.

[hildegoat]

The second YouTube vid in that link with the live version of the new song sounds great.

[roxy031]

i'm really excited about this. jenny lewis is awesome, and adding m. ward and zooey can only = more awesomeness. i just wish she'd add an NC or VA show.

[SkortBrun]

So are the Watson Twins not on this album?

[hildegoat]

i'm really excited about this. jenny lewis is awesome, and adding m. ward and zooey can only = more awesomeness. i just wish she'd add an NC or VA show.

I would not be able to handle a Jenny/Zooey double-bill.

[hildegoat]

Has anyone preordered this yet? I'm wondering if there are any deals out there, and I can't find much on her site.

[Quincy]

I would not be able to handle a Jenny/Zooey double-bill.

I can barely handle when it's Jenny on her own.

[roxy031]

Has anyone preordered this yet? I'm wondering if there are any deals out there, and I can't find much on her site.

I haven't seen any kind of deals yet. Amazon has it available for preorder:

[hildegoat]

Sweet! Thanks!

[hildegoat]

This song is awesome. I think it's my most anticipated album of the year so far.

[SkortBrun]

That song's really good. From the NPR description it sounds like this album is going to be quite different than I expected.

[hildegoat]

I think this album will take some time to beat Rabbit Fur Coat, but there are some crazy good songs on here (Godspeed and the title track).

[clewis]

I like Rabbit Fur Coat more.

[FrigidRoses]

I like what I'm hearing. Can't wait for this to come out. Acid Tongue is beautiful.

Finally picked this up today. I like it a lot.
