This afternoon, Local Natives outlined the July 7 release of their fifth album, Time Will Wait For No One. The set was recorded and produced with John Congleton, Michael Harris and Danny Reisch and features 10 tracks of new music generated by the indie rock mainstays.
In a post shared across the group’s social media, the band opened up about formulating the impending collection. They wrote: “Time Will Wait For No One 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.”
The statement continued, “There was a moment halfway through making this record when we played one of the most emotional concerts of our lives, a sold-out show at the Greek Theater in L.A., and our first performance in almost two years. It was one of the most beautiful and connecting shows we’d ever played, and we didn’t know if it would be our last. As individuals and as a band, we were on the verge of a collapse.”
“Out of that reckoning we dissolved everything down to start again, and had the most prolific period of songwriting in our history. Time flows on uncontrollably and change is relentless, and the people you love are the only constants. Local Natives can be a tricky solar system to keep in orbit, we have less defined roles than most bands, we’re hugely democratic, have multiple songwriters and singers,” they wrote, prefacing the impending batch and steps taken to get there.
“A few forces keep the balance going; our deep love and respect for each other as family, and that whenever we come together and let go of control we make something we could only make together. And the other is our community, listening to the records and going to the shows, you are part of our gravity. This is the first chapter, Time Will Wait For No One,” they concluded.
To compliment today’s announcement, the band has also shared a single off the impending batch and its official music video. Watch “NYE” below. Additionally, Local Natives also delivered a list of tour dates in support of the newly dropped dates. Scroll down to view.
