Local Natives - Violet Street - LP

Vinyl LP pressing. 2019 release. If you distilled California into soundwaves and vibrations, it might resemble the sonic and spiritual interplay of the Los Angeles quintet Local Natives. Violet Street revels in it's stylistic eclecticism ranging from kinetic and propulsive pop ("When Am I Gonna Lose You") to sun-drenched grooves ("Cafe Amarillo") and stark emotive ballads ("Tap Dancer"). Produced by Shawn Everett (Kacey Musgraves, War On Drugs, Alabama Shakes), their fourth full length album proves to be their most diverse and mature set of tunes, from production through song writing.
