This one’s for anybody who misses early Rilo Kiley. New L.A. quintet Tiny Stills bring that kind of unvarnished energy and directness to their debut album “Falling Is Like Flying,” self-released last week. The band is spearheaded by singer-songwriter Kailynn West, a Pennsylvania-bred multi-instrumentalist and audio engineer who narrates her cherub indie-rock with a punky je ne sais quoi. In the Taylor Allen-directed video for “15-17 Months,” though, it’s obvious that she’s having relationship problems. Some puppets suffering from wandering eyes.
