Toronto, ON – March 14, 2019 – Local Natives announce their forthcoming LP, Violet Street, set for release April 26 via Loma Vista Recordings. The news comes along with two incredible videos; their first, released in over two years, for Café Amarillo. The swooning, shimmering song is paired with a video directed by Van Alpert (Post Malone), featuring visuals by Public-Library (Drake, Mac Miller, Nike). Watch the video  here and pre-order the album now.
 

Following Café Amarillo, Local Natives revealed a second new lush, expansive song: When Am I Gonna Lose You. Actress and style icon, Kate Mara, gives a gripping, melancholic performance in the video that evokes classic LA films such as David Lynch’s, Mulholland Drive, and Mike Nichols’, The Graduate. The video was shot in and around the Hollywood Hills in February 2019, once again directed by Van Alpert (Post Malone), and features visuals by Public-Library (Drake, Mac Miller, Nike).

The question at the heart of Violet Street that threads together Café Amarillo, When Am I Gonna Lose You and the other eight original tracks is, “With all of the chaos in the world, where do you find your shelter?”

The classic studio setting is juxtaposed on Violet Street with modern production and visuals to form a timeless album. The band’s signature soaring three-part harmonies 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.

Based in Los Angeles, the quintet progressed their blissful sound over the course of three full-length albums, Gorilla Manor (2009), Hummingbird (2013), and, most recently, Sunlit Youth (2016). The latter received praise from The FADER, Consequence of Sound, The Guardian. In between countless sold out shows and festival appearances - including a standout Coachella 2017 set - they’ve graced the stages of Austin City Limits, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show With James Corden, and more.

On May 15, Local Natives will embark on The Spiral Choir Tour, kicking off in Vancouver on May 15, with stops in Toronto and Montreal. This marks the band’s first tour since 2017. Local Natives will partner with Plus1 to donate $1 from select tickets to support gender-based violence intervention and prevention programs.

Taylor Rice (vocals, guitar)
Kelcey Ayer (vocals, keys, percussion, guitar)
Ryan Hahn (guitar, keys, vocals)
Matt Frazier (drums)
Nik Ewing (vocals, bass, keys)
