Torchbearers of the Southern California band sound, Local Natives first drew attention in 2009 when their debut album, 'Gorilla manor', grabbed fans with its vibrant mix of kinetic, complex rhythms and soaring harmonies. The album drew praise for its enthusiastic balance of post-punk urgency and evocative lyricism. In 2013, the group expanded upon that sound, exploring a darker, more introspective aesthetic on their follow-up, 'Hummingbird' (produced by Aaron Dessner of The National). Their third album, 'Sunlit Youth', arrived in the summer of 2016 via Infectious and Loma Vista Recordings. Its globe trotting writing process found the group experimenting with production techniques and expanding their palette of entrustments. The classic studio setting is juxtaposed on Local Natives' fourth full-length, 'Violet Street' [Loma Vista Recordings] with modern production and visuals to form a timeless album. The band's fifth project 'Time Will Wait For No One' [Loma Vista Recordings] serves as a harmonious return to their roots. Their sixth album, 'But I'll Wait For You', is a companion piece to the album prior to it.
