More Adventurous is the third full length album released by Los Angeles based band Rilo Kiley. The album, released on August 17, 2004, marks a significant change in the band's sound with the goal of being "more adventurous" than their previous music. The effort paid off by increasing the group's audience and garnering critical praise; noted rock critic Robert Christgau called "It's a Hit," song of the year for 2004[1].

Two versions of the album were released: the regular store-sold version in a normal jewel case and a limited edition digipak version (1,000 copies) sold at the album's release party and concert.

"Accidntel Deth" was produced by Jimmy Tamborello, known for his work in The Postal Service and as Dntel (which explains the unusual spelling of the title).

"Ripchord" and "It Just Is" were written in response to the death of Elliott Smith.

"I Never" and "Ripchord" were included on the soundtrack of several feature films including Must Love Dogs, Conversations with Other Women, and John Tucker Must Die.
