LOCAL NATIVES

"When my first child was born, I played piano for her almost daily. A lot of days when she was an infant, I would hold her in one arm while playing piano with the other hand. One day she kind of sang along and made a repetitive noise to what I was playing. I approximated this as best as I could with my right hand in the “verses” of this song, “First Melody” that we wrote together. This album is for her, to have a document of the music from the beginning of her life. Making a physical version of this album is so important, so she can hold and listen to this album on vinyl in 20 years. Who knows what music consumption will be like decades from now?"

Our fifth album Time Will Wait For No One is out July 7: https://i.localnatives.com/TWWFNO We’re so excited to finally announce the start of a massive musical journey we’ve been on in the last few years. Time Will Wait For No One was made during a time of metamorphosis for us. Former selves melting away as some of us became fathers, endured periods of isolation, loss, and identity crisis. The highs and lows we were feeling at the same time were so extreme. There was a moment halfway through making this record when we played one of the most emotional concerts of our lives, a sold out show at the Greek Theater in LA, and our first performance in almost two years. It was one of the most beautiful and connecting shows we’d ever played, and we didn't know if it would be our last. As individuals and as a band, we were on the verge of a collapse. Out of that reckoning we dissolved everything down to start again. In this period a theme was emerging in the songs we were writing, time flows on uncontrollably and change is relentless, and the people you love are the only constants. The following year led to the most prolific period of songwriting in our history. Local Natives can be a tricky solar system to keep in orbit, we have less defined roles than most bands, we’re hugely democratic, have multiple songwriters and singers. A few forces keep the balance going; our deep love and respect for each other as family, and that whenever we come together and let go of control we make something we could only make together. And the other is our community, listening to the records and going to the shows, you are part of our gravity. This is the first chapter, Time Will Wait For No One. 1. Time Will Wait For No One 2. Just Before The Morning 3. Empty Mansions 4. Desert Snow 5. Paper Lanterns 6. Featherweight 7. Hourglass 8. Ava 9. NYE 10.
