Biography

Local Natives (formerly Cavil at Rest) is an indie rock band based in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, California. After the three founding members originally met in high school, a bassist and a drummer were found, and they all moved to a house in Silver Lake in 2008 to record their album. Their debut album as Local Natives, "Gorilla Manor", was released in the UK on Nov 2nd, 2009, and saw a US release date of Feb. 16th, 2010. The band's sound has been described as "afropop-influenced guitars with hyperactive drumming and hooky three-part harmonies". They started to attract the attention of the music press after playing nine shows at the 2009 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. Initial reviews of Local Natives have drawn favourable comparisons to Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes and Vampire Weekend.

    The desk where you sit inside of a frame made of
    Made of, of wood
    I keep those chopsticks you had from when you taught abroad
    Taught abroad in Japan
    I love it all

    Lyrics
    Oh, some evil spirit, oh, some evil this way comes
    They told me how they fear it
    Now they're placing it on their tongues
    For to see it with my own eyes
    For to see it with my own eyes

    Lyrics
    I climbed to the top of a hill
    But I had just missed the sun
    And although the descending arc was gone
    Left behind were the traces that always follow along
    The most beautiful colors chase the sun

    Lyrics
    The lane next over is always faster
    And you wait so long until you're so bothered
    But right after you complete your merge
    The lane you started in gets going
    And while you wait for your luck to change
