In my spare time, I try to frequent smaller, cozy venues that promote neighborhood talent such as Spaceland and The Smell. While I have discovered some great talent in these places, such as Abe Viboda and Warpaint, lately, it is fairly rare that I encounter a band that truly impresses me. More often, it seems that a lot of these local newly formed bands fall under the all-encompassing parachute genre of indie rock. While I have nothing against indie music in general and in fact, I have found that iTunes categorizes a fair amount of my music as such, after a while it starts to sound a touch repetitive.
You can imagine my surprise when I came across Local Natives, an amazing indie-folk band based in Silverlake. The band, formerly known as Cavil at Rest, first gained notoriety when they played at SXSW last year, shortly afterward they were signed to French Kiss Records and began working on their debut album, Gorilla Manor. The album, released last Tuesday, is best described as an infusion of afro-pop, influenced guitar, and folk-inspired vocals. Not surprisingly, the band has often found themselves compared to the likes of Vampire Weekend and Fleet Foxes. They are currently touring Europe, but will be back in California in April for the Coachella Music Festival.
Needed to create you this very small observation to help thank you once again on the spectacular suggestions you’ve shared on this page. This has been certainly generous with you to allow easily what exactly a lot of people could have advertised for an electronic book to help with making some profit on their own, even more so now that you might well have done it if you ever wanted. The inspiring ideas also acted as a fantastic way to fully grasp that some people have the identical interest the same as my very own to figure out more and more concerning this problem. I believe there are many more pleasant times up front for people who scan through your blog post.
