Like so many of us, I’m so crazy in love with “Gorilla Manor”, the debut album of Los Angeles band Local Natives. It’s been in heavy rotation as of late which is saying quite a bit with the crazy amounts of great new music that have been released as of late. I will without a doubt be catching these kids when I hit up Coachella next month (holy crap, I’m finally going to Coachella next month), especially since they were supposed to be playing in the D based on flyers posted around local venues, but that Detroit tour date was nowhere to be found when the dates were officially announced last week.

While there are so many gems on this album, “Who Knows Who Cares” has been a huge standout for me. I think I sort of consider it a modern day power ballad, with it’s string arrangements, slower tempo and huge huge vocals and harmonies (something Local Natives are oh so great at and that I can’t wait to hear live). It’s funny for me that this song has become a favorite on the album because I’m almost always turned off by the the slower tunes. I feel like this song is the peak of the album. Like every other song has been leading up to it. But I really could have posted any song from this album though and been happy with my decision. I expect big things from these kids in the future.
