Local Natives – KCRW Session
A few weeks back we all saw Local Natives play at the Metro Theatre in Sydney. The possibility that one might know of their live show and decide not to attend is pretty absurd. The only acceptable excuse is ignorance and even that’s a stretch given the rolling thundercloud that has been Local Natives’ rise through 2010.
If ever there was an example of a good thing being added to a good thing, it’s this: Local Natives with a string section. A 45 minute session of just that, recorded at KCRW studios, is available for streaming here or in the player below. Frankly I need the culture. I went to Bondi over the weekend to watch Bowlarama (which ruled) but for about 15 minutes I thought I liked Bliss and Eso. It was horrible.
I can’t actually hear the string section in tracks like World News but in others such as Warning Sign and Cubism Dream the strings are everything.
