Rilo Kiley’s Blake Sennett has confirmed that he has officially left the Los Angeles band, hinting that their current hiatus is in fact a full break-up. The band took an extended break following the promotion of their 2007 LP ‘Under The Blacklight’, however Sennett has now revealed that personal differences and “deception, disloyalty and greed” means that the band will not be reuniting.
Speaking to Spinner about his position in the Californain four-piece, Sennett said: "I just felt like there was a lot of deception, disloyalty, greed and things I don't really want to submit myself to. I had related that frustration to music but I just thought, 'I'm not going to put myself in that position again,' so I said, 'F*** that, I can't do this anymore.'"
He continued: "That being said, it was probably immature and that came from a place of ego. I think that stuff will rear its head in anything you do, depending on the personnel you surround yourself with; things change overtime and people change and relationships change."
"Relationships, like Woody Allen said, are either moving forward or they're moving backwards, they either degrade or they grow and it was degrading to some certain extent in Rilo Kiley. I was mad at music - and it wasn't music's fault. It was our fault as bandmembers, or partners, or friends."
Frontwoman Jenny Lewis and the remaining members of Rilo Kiley are yet to respond to Clennet’s claims.
