Local Natives

Sour Lemon EP

A new 4-track EP from the excellent indie-poppers Local Natives.

Departing from soaring festival-ready anthems; new EP ‘Sour Lemon’ sees Local Natives return to their more delicate, musing side. Straight to the heart, each song is as dreamy as the next; tangled up in nostalgia and moments of reflection.

Commenting on the timing and arrival of their new EP, the band explained: “We’re always working on new music, but songs tend to come at their own pace. There’s something freeing about writing without the goal of an album in mind. It feels like waking up for class only to realise that it’s Saturday and you can sleep in as long as you want. The songs on Sour Lemon each have their own long histories but they all finally decided to arrive at the same time. Rather than waiting, we decided to share them as soon as we could.”

It’s been a sour year for many of us, but there’s no bitter taste on this EP. In a career spanning over 10 years, Local Natives somehow always manage to conjure up something new; all the while holding onto their signature Southern California indie-rock sound.
