DOWNLOAD: Local Natives - Sun Hands (MP3)
Fool's Gold / Local Natives
"Indeed, in many ways Local Natives' Gorilla Manor is like a science experiment in how to create a critically acclaimed album: take some of the ethereal folksiness of Fleet Foxes ('Airplanes'), add some Arcade Fire-ish choral harmonies (' Shape Shifter', 'Stranger Things'), a dash of Broken Social Scene's quirkiness ('World News', 'Camera Talk') sprinkle with Cold War Kids-esque off-kilter timings and shouty middle eights ('Sun Hands', 'Warning Sign'), throw in some post-punk Gang Of Four meets Bloc Party drumming and a half-tablespoon of string-soaked balladry ('Who Knows Who Cares') and simmer for 45 minutes before wrapping it up in a warm glow. The result? Arguably the most intriguing and enduring debut of the year." [State]That review is from an Irish site. The album is not yet available in the states (though its rumored that a signing announcement is coming soon).
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros are on tour with Fool's Gold and Local Natives. The three bands played Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday (11/17) followed by a Wednesday (11/18 - last night) show at Music Hall of Williamsburg where Edward Sharpe also played in August when they were last here.
Both opening bands joined the other on stage for a song. During Local Natives' set it was their last song "Sun Hands" that Fool's Gold backed them up on. Download that track above. More pictures from last night below...

i'm pretty sure that local natives have had a label deal in the works for a while now. not sure why they still haven't announced it.

Local Natives were the best band of CMJ and it wasn't even close.

Saw the Tuesday night show. Local Natives were very impressive. Very focused on stage - like they have something to prove. Cool to catch a band in this stage of their rise. Excited to see what happens with them.
Also, can we get some more pictures of the accordion player in Edward Sharpe? Beautiful.

Just saw Edward Sharpe & co last Friday. Great show, really liked Local Natives.

They really rock the music scene! I'm sure that their fans really enjoyed their concerts. I hope I could get to watch them, to.
