Local Natives Sunlit Youth

Release Date: 2016 Tracklist. Review Summary: The closer they get, the farther they have to go. When it comes to artists shifting their musical focus, I’ve always considered it imperative to assess their reasons for trying something different and what they hope to achieve with their newfound direction.

Local Natives have, whether through intentional effort or not, established themselves as the go-to band of inoffensive but charming West Coast indie rock. With a debut that shone with the wide-eyed excitement of a band experiencing first album praise and a touring lifestyle, to a polar opposite sophomore effort that dealt with loss and heartbreak, Local Natives are a band unafraid to let you.
