Local Natives

Face-to-face songwriting and musical interplay put to tape: the classic studio setting is juxtaposed on LocalNatives’ fourth full-length,​ ​Violet Street​ ​[Loma VistaRecordings] with modern production and visuals to forma timeless album. The band’s signature soaring 3-partharmonies are augmented by loops of tape, physically spliced and transformed by hand, the result of experimenting​ ​in the studio with producer​ ​Shawn Everett [Alabama Shakes, Kacey Musgraves, The War On Drugs] is a band renewed.In essence, Local Natives [Taylor Rice (vocals, guitar), Kelcey Ayer (vocals, keys), Ryan Hahn (vocals, guitar), Matt Frazier (drums), and Nik Ewing (vocals, bass,keys)] return to the methods of their 2009 debut​ ​Gorilla Manor​, but with the bonds of their union fortified and with the growth of wisdom accrued in the studio and on stage in front of millions of worldwide fans.
