Sticky Thread (Daytrotter Sessions) by Local Natives

Local Natives tumble into love and find themselves gasping some, at the end of silence, distance or wet eyes. They paint the picture, with three and four-part harmonies that could butter bread and with a revelatory rhythm and pulse that makes you perspire, your heart race like a filly just thinking about it. The band arranges songs in ways that force you to behave differently, to change a little inside, while listening to and inevitability joining in on the harmonies, before too long. But even beyond, just the way that they move within the structure of the song, you have those words that are being so beautifully sung… The new arrangements of these three songs here are more testament to the ability and melodic inventiveness of this very promising band, showing even more so, the vibrancy of their tongues and spirits. — Sean Moeller
