Local Natives: NPR Music Field Recordings
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- The East River Ferry is one of the more whimsical ways for New Yorkers to commute, but it retains its claim to practicality with one key characteristic: It is a very fast boat. So it was that Local Natives came hurtling toward our crew up the river one overcast evening this summer, shouting three-part harmonies over roaring engines for a surprised clutch of fans. When the ferry docked, three of the band's members hurried over to our pier off WNYC Transmitter Park to play this Field Recording.
That boundless energy and will to connect with fans has characterized the band since its start. In 2010, Local Natives came clattering into the indie firmament with the U.S. release of Gorilla Manor, an irresistible blend of in-vogue sonic signifiers like Afropop guitars, rich harmonies and the hint of a folk sensibility. In 2016, the band's run has continued with the synth-heavy Sunlit Youth.
For their Field Recording, Local Natives played one of the singles off that album, "Fountain of Youth." Though the recorded version is lush and electronic, Local Natives stripped the song to a driving core. The band played, and then it was off again - guitars in hand, headed for the evening's show elsewhere in Brooklyn, then on to the next.

Most underrated band ever
This is beyond beautiful. Also, really wanna thank NPR Tiny Desk for delivering great content consistently.
I saw these guys in Indianapolis several months after they won that van for the Cindy Lauper competition. They were amazing...but because nobody knew them yet the audience was basically using them as background noise. It was saddening.
such an amazing performance, just wow. now this is what I call proper music
One of the best versions of this song. Amazing!
Gorgeous performance and recording. Love it.
These guys really know their shit! Amazing to watch and listen..,
Beautiful!!!
Underrated album
in ll ::) oo
I loved these guys' first album but have been unimpressed by their material since then, good to see they're still excellent live performers!
Loving the field recording
When you decide to use fountains of youth as your year book song to describe high school 🙌🏼
ohhhhhh boy I love these guys
Lovely message.
Please record an acoustic version and put it on iTunes
this is an acoustic set
Briggleton he wants it recorded and put on itunes tho ...
SamSesshu he could use a UA-cam to mp3 converter

Luke Mills poop99ppoop pop ups ppoi o opp 0999
bitch I'm crying, wtf
Because a generation is being judged, suppressed and unheard by the changes they wish to make in this society.
I'm shocked! So good!
The best!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
love local natives!
Wow, I like this band
what camera was this shot with? it's so crisp and incredible!
Beautiful
so amazing
Great scenery to match the moving tune
Great job, Nicky.
WOW that was amazing!
This is soooooo good
SO good.
Excellent.
This is fucking perfection.
the camera man is trying hard not to show the brand of the guitar they are using. lol
Amazing
The way the title is written made me think that this was just a recording of some random local band
I fucking adore this band. And Taylor's pitch, ahhh!
YES!!!!
Very nice
but where's the cutie Matt Frazier :(
what ?
@@matthewfrazier123 lol
Why it hurts listening to this?
muito amoor
Has nobody else noticed the syncing issues at 2:51????
Yea I noticed that.
HOLEY SHIT.
What type of lens did you use?
or I guess lenses?
Don't worry about the lens quality unless you are shooting for a 40 foot screen. Focus on knowing the lenses you do have and what their individual throw is and how that works with your camera sensor.
LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE TO KEEP WAITING
hawt track
Привет из России!
Whats the name of this song?
the title of the song what ?
WTF?
I wanna have Taylor's babies
5/10 hacks
sounds like every other easy listening "indie" shit
they have phenomenal voices, harmonies, a great mix of instruments and brilliant lyrics. they are far from the typical mediocre "indie" band.
why is indie in quotation marks? they're clearly an indie band. and the direction on their new album deviates from the typical low-fi indie (which is a really broad term these days btw) landscape. you don't know what you're talking about, my man.
Brilliant lyrics? don't know about that. If you wanna hear brilliant lyrics listen to the Grateful Dead✌🏼
Bromega 3.0 or steely dan lol
Lol, can I get "Most overrated bands in the entire 20th century" for 500 Alex?
Bulshit
This is bad
Great! Skinny pants on one dude and a frickin man bun on another. I'm going out to my shop and weld something. I'm so glad I'm old and won't have to watch the world get handed to this generation of "men".
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose In various places and points in history men have worn makeup, dresses and skirts. Great men. Emperors, pharaohs, scientists, poets. Times change, things come into and out of vogue for arbitrary reasons. It's no reason to see these men as any less of men. I hope that makes sense; it's very late as I write this.
I don't like ignorant punks like you.
Juan Affranchino I'm an ignorant punk because our opinions differ??? I guess you know that everyone else on this planet,besides you, is an ignorant punk, because we all have differing opinions.
Whatever dude, you're so jaded, your opinions are based on looks, of course i'm gonna differ with your dumb conclusions.
Juan Affranchino I'm jaded? You're the one calling total strangers with their own opinions "punks" and " retards". Do you not see the irony,,,,,dude?
Omg learn to Sing
Bad Voice
Does NPR just grab random people off the street to play guitars and say they're good?
