Local Natives were a chance find - someone recommended them to me, i think, and after only a couple of listens, i took the risk of buying two tickets to see them at the Arts Centre near my Uni. I'm so glad i did since they were amazing live - considering i'd only bought their album two days before, i found myself bouncing along to all their catchy tracks.
And not catchy in the formulaic pop kind of way, but in the these-people-really-know-how-to-work-their-instruments-and-have-fun kind of way.
Clever lyrics too, if you needed any more convincing that they aren't standard pop (i've worried myself by calling them catchy and fun...). Subtly hidden - it's worth a peruse on lyrics websites to see what theyre saying.
To continue with this blog format of what lyrics mean to me, rather than band reviews, i'd say that this is just about how there are always massive highs to compliment any lows (a theme i might come back to, because i already have another couplet in mind!).
"I'll endure the night
for the promise of light"
