This band is something you'd hear in a Twilight movie...and I don't know how many of you have ever seen a Twilight movie, but if you have, you'd know I'm absolutely right, and this is a compliment. I don't care what you think of Twilight, and that's not what we're here to talk about, but you can't deny, Stephenie Meyer has amazing taste in music, and it shows in the movie soundtracks. Local Natives have a sound that blends folk music with modern styles. In songs like "Who Knows Who Cares" there is definitely a trace of a modernized John Denver, it sounds like something you should be listening to while driving down a long and winding country road. Just listening to them makes you feel closer to nature. In fact, you can hear in songs like "Sun Hands" a sound that makes you think of Native Americans and sitting around a campfire, looking at someone you love dance behind a wall of sparks crackling off the wood. In "Wide Eyes" they show their ability to create songs that aren't mood specific. You can listen to them when you're happy, contemplative, angry, sad, or in any other mood they're sure to satisfy. I would say that if you're planning a road trip across the U.S., definately bring some Local Natives.
Here's to a little rock in your life,
Miranda
