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…
