Sticky Thread (Daytrotter Sessions) by Local Natives
Local Natives tumble into love and find themselves gasping some, at the end of silence, distance or wet eyes. They paint the picture, with three and four-part harmonies that could butter bread and with a revelatory rhythm and pulse that makes you perspire, your heart race like a filly just thinking about it. The band arranges songs in ways that force you to behave differently, to change a little inside, while listening to and inevitability joining in on the harmonies, before too long. But even beyond, just the way that they move within the structure of the song, you have those words that are being so beautifully sung… The new arrangements of these three songs here are more testament to the ability and melodic inventiveness of this very promising band, showing even more so, the vibrancy of their tongues and spirits. — Sean Moeller
original version of “Sticky Thread” appears on Gorilla Manor.

If you like what you hear, you should do what you can to support these bands. Buy their records however you prefer: digitally, on vinyl, or even a CD if you still use those things. Even better, catch them live when they swing through your area. Live music is good for you.
You can follow some of the bands on Tumblr: Fang Island; Power Animal; 1,2,3; The Morning Benders.
h/t: I got some music and inspiration from a few great Tumblrs for this: Derek (theduty), Mark (yvynyl), Jimmy (headunderwater), and Dave (davidseger).

Vinyl Sunday | Local Natives’ Gorilla Manor
See, now. The boys of Local Natives are so down to earth and normal. They sing (sometimes awful) songs while drunk @ karaoke bars, just like the rest of us. And they record it, and post it to the internet for people to watch, just like some average people do.
Good times.
