local natives – sun hands
another track today from a band that got a lot of buzz earlier this year. this time its oxymoronically named los angeles band local natives. theyve been getting much love this year but i havent listened to them other than a few songs ive heard around. but the ones i heard were enough for me to kind of like them. and theyve got some funky art stuff to check out on their website, so thats a bonus too. todays song is “sun hands” and i think what first struck me was the interesting harmonies throughout the song that mimic the opening guitar riffs (something that the dirty projectors do quite successfully all the time as well). theres something a bit mysterious about this whole song that i cant quite put my finger on. maybe its just that its freezing right now, so i cant relate to all of this talk about the sun. just make sure you make it to the big breakdown in the second half of the song when it really gets rockin.
