Local Natives have released a new album, Violet Street, today via Loma Vista. Now that the album is out, you can stream the whole thing below. Also below are the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Previously Local Natives shared two songs from Violet Street: “Café Amarillo” (via a video) and “When Am I Gonna Lose You” via a video that starred actress Kate Mara (The Martian, Megan Leavey). “When Am I Gonna Lose You” was one of our Songs of the Week. Then they shared another song from the album, closing track “Tap Dancer,” via a video for the track (it also made our Songs of the Week list). Then they shared one last song from the album, “Megaton Mile.”

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.
