Local Natives have announced a new album, Violet Street, and shared a video for a new song from it, “When Am I Gonna Lose You.” The video stars actress Kate Mara (The Martian, Megan Leavey). The album also features “Café Amarillo,” another new song that they shared yesterday via a video for it. Violet Street is due out April 26 via Loma Vista. Check out the video for “When Am I Gonna Lose You” below, which is followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as the band’s upcoming tour dates. Also below is the video for “Café Amarillo” again.

As with “Café Amarillo,” Van Alpert directed the “When Am I Gonna Lose You” video, which features visuals by Public-Library. In fact the “Café Amarillo” video included flashes of the “When Am I Gonna Lose You” video, tying them together. Violet Street is Local Natives’ fourth album and the follow-up to 2016’s Sunlit Youth. For Violet Street the band worked with producer Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Kacey Musgraves, The War on Drugs).

Kelcey Ayer (Local Natives’ co-vocalist, pianist, and one of the band’s primary songwriters) released his debut solo album under the name Jaws of Love. (the period at the end of the name is intentional), Tasha Sits Close to the Piano, in 2017 via House Arrest.
