  • 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.

    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.

      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.

    • @jamiecal11
      @jamiecal11 7 років тому +9

      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.

      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.
