Local Natives Release Their New Song “NYE”

After a slow start to the year release wise, it seems like we are finally starting to heat up, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I say that because music just seems to hit so much harder in the Summer, and I love it when musical acts make music that can soundtrack the season. Recently one of my favorite bands, Local Natives, ended their 3-year hiatus with their latest hit NYE. Although the song feels like Summer, it catches the energy and celebratory feeling of its title (New Year’s Eve).
This is what the band had to say about the single:
“This record was made during a time of metamorphosis for us. Former selves melting away as some of us became fathers, endured periods of isolation, loss, and identity crisis. The highs and lows we were feeling at the same time were so extreme. There was a moment halfway through making the album, we played one of the most emotional concerts of our lives. A sold-out show at the Greek Theater in LA, our first performance in almost two years, but we didn’t know how we could move forward. As individuals and as a band, we were on the verge of a collapse. Time flows on uncontrollably and change is relentless, and the people you love are the only constants. Out of that reckoning we dissolved everything down to start again, and had the most prolific period of songwriting in our history. This is the first chapter, Time Will Wait For No One.”
When it comes to the record, “NYE” was inspired by the band covering the Strokes’ “Someday” for Ryan Hahn’s wedding. In addition, the release is the first single dropped from their upcoming album Time Will Wait For No One, coming July 7. With that being said, stream the song above and vibe out.
