Local Natives - Violet Street (April 26, 2019) Album • Page 3

Sunlit was my favorite record by these guys but this record might be tied with it in the end. Someday Now, Megaton Mile, When Am I Gonna Lose You, Cafe Amarillo, Shy and Gulf Shores are all top tier. I do have to agree that Tap Dancer is a bit underwhelming though as their closer.

Seeing them 6/21 at the Fox Theater in Oakland - hyped to hear these songs live!

 

WAIGLY is probably my song of the year right now

 

Megaton Mile is a jam. My wife has always been a fan of these guys, but I never listened to them by myself. I'm digging this album though.

 

you gotta run through the discography! Hummingbird is a personal favorite

 

I plan on it soon! I gotta give my wife a lot of credit. She was into a lot of "indie" (for lack of a better term) stuff like this ever since we started dating (2010). I was mainly into heavy stuff and pop punk, so she's helped me branch out a lot. Really enjoyed seeing these guys shortly after Sunlit Youth came out, not sure why I didn't put more time into listening then.

 

When Megaton Mile drops out then comes back in then transitions into Someday Now.

 

This is very good. I’m gonna through the rest of their discography now.

 

For the first time?

 

Indeed

 

Oh man.. Very excited for you. "Hummingbird" is a top 10er for me and "Gorilla Manor" isn't too far behind.

They're in Royal Oak on the 25th ;)

 

This version of Sun Hands is so sick.

 

Gorilla Manor is still my fav, but this actually might be #2 for me

 

first couple listens were meh but its growing on me a lot, which sunlit youth never did so thats a good sign

 

Yeah, aside from a few songs that I really dig, kind of disappointed in this -- hope it grows on me more.

 

Megaton Mile is sooooooooo good

 

really warming up to this album as I put it #6 on my midseason aoty list

 

Nice list. I’d put 5 of those (foals, owel, LoNa, king Giz, buke & Gase) in my top 20 to date too

 

Garden Of Elysian is a slow burner, really love it now. Also I'm just now realizing Gulf Shores is closer material.

 

Interesting list! Lots of bands here I've never heard of, but Foals, Owel and this are top tier for sure. Btw have you ever heard of a group called Wheel?

 

Thanks!

no I know a band called "High Wheel" but have never heard/heard-of Wheel I don't think. But I'll have to check them out. Any specific album?

 

They only have one LP and it's called Moving Backwards. They seem to be pretty unknown, but they have a bit of a prog vibe and it's one of my favorite rock albums this year. You seem pretty well diverse in prog/metel, so I'm curious if you'll enjoy it.

 

I forgot how good they are live. Perfect night. I wish I could go tomorrow too. Only song I was sad they didn’t play was Fountains of Youth

 

Just here to say I love their song "I Saw You Close Your Eyes", but besides that, I know barely anything about this band. Need to check more stuff out.

 

Love this album. The vocals on Someday Now are sublime.

 

This is almost my AOTY. So shimmery
