With only 15 days left until my favorite weekend of the year, I've decided to count down the last couple of weeks with a little feature each day on some of the lesser known acts of the festival. First up are the Pitchfork'd Local Natives. Although many people rail against the aforementioned site, 80% of the time they give a great artist or group their big break (i.e. Vampire Weekend, Fleet Foxes, Titus Andronicus, Surfer Blood, and of course Animal Collective). Local Natives are at the cross-roads of Fleet Foxes falsetto woods-folk, and Band of Horses space-folk, but with more electric guitars and at times more angst. If you are a fan of either of those bands I guarantee you will love Local Natives debut 'Gorilla Manor'. Stoked to check them out in a few weeks.
Here's a track:
