Local Natives – Breakers

There’re a few tracks presently on my mind so decisions have had to be made. I’m going to run with an international track to start with, the first cut from Local Natives’ sophomore release. The album will be called Hummingbird and come January you’ll have it in your sweaty yet delicate palms.

Do you like it? What do you think? Lots of reverb? No reverb? I’d love to hear your opinions so please leave them in the comment box below. For one reason or another it’s crucial that you tell me what you think. Don’t bother dwelling on it too deeply, just spew forth your least considered response. Ideally, I’d like to hear that ‘this is not as good as something else’ or that the drumming is ‘sick’. Better still, why don’t you just tell me about your day or CTRL-V whatever you’ve currently got cached on your clipboard. Nothing is beneath me!

Sick drumming though. Breakers is a step up in terms of production but it’s a step back for songwriting with an over-reliance on pretty wails and swelling noise. Don’t get me wrong, I like both those things, but the first LN record had that and more. Still a great track but here’s hoping that this is the radio release from the record.

Sorry about all that before. I actually really like hearing your opinions. You’re alright.




Have your say:
