One Song

Local Natives

Past Lives

Joel Frieders | April 29, 2016

Local Natives have yet to drop something I don't love almost instantly. 

I fucking adore how every song is another excuse to close my eyes and tip my head back and tribally swat at the imaginary drums laid out in front of me. "Past Lives" builds on their already fluffed pillowy dreamz of rock, but with an almost hypnotic gallping rim shot that makes it almost feel fucking BEACHY bro. 

How the fuck do these shitballs keep making me lose control of my extremeties?

That snare has me annoying everyone in the office because ain't no fucking way I'm done slap-slapping my desk top as I roll through the ninth listen in a row.

"Past Lives" is fucking Local Natives at their fucking best. DAMN.
