Local Natives - Sunlit Youth (New CD)

2016 release, the third album from L.A.-based alt-rock band Local Natives. ”Holdouts from the ”00s indie rock movement have struggled to assimilate into the landscape we live in now. But not Local Natives.” The kick-start album-opener “”Villainy”” signifies the band”s unbridled new energy and huge ambitions. It feels like a nice wrapping-up of this trilogy of who they are: these Southern California kids who grew up feeling like the world was this endless possibility. Looking back upon their own youths yet constantly moving forward to the future, Local Natives have embraced their evolution and made what could be seen as the most Local Natives-sounding album of their young careers.
