i'd heard the first few tracks of this album and enjoyed them...their album is available to stream on their website and i'm listening now

anybody a fan?

love the album, but they're a lot better live.

i actually put it on my list last year tho cuz i bought it at their show in Oct. wasn't aware that it was only a UK release then

Been listening to it a lot since that Pitchfork Buzz Bands thread. That, and the Morning Benders.

That Morning Benders album is one of my favorites this year. Going to see Local Natives in Oct. I like the first half of the album much more than the second. I'm sure I'll eventually warm up.

yeah the second half didn't do much for me at first but it's really grown on me

surprised there isn't more talk about these guys on here

local natives are pretty fucking awesome. i'm really curious to hear what the 2nd album will sound like

Preface: I live in Roanoke.

My wife: "Who is this?" (Nods toward CD player)

Me: "Local Natives."

Her: "Oh . . . are they from Roanoke?"

Me: "..."

agreed. saw them in August and they closed the show with it. hipsters crowd-surfering everywhere

Sun Hands is one of my least favorites.

bah.

Airplanes is so obnoxious. the local radio station here overplayed the shit out of it all last year. :throwup:

dscans · **Posted:** Tue Jan 11, 2011 4:00 pm

I like Wide Eyes, Cards and Quarters, and Cubism Dream more than Sun Hands.

lennytheweedwhacker · **Posted:** Tue Jan 11, 2011 10:24 pm

Sun Hands just feels like it tries too hard to me or something. I dunno.

solace · **Posted:** Tue Jan 11, 2011 10:56 pm

it reminds me of Yeasayer a bit for some reason... and that's a good thing.

that riff when it breaks down (especially live) just KILLS :bammer:
