I’d never really given Local Natives too much of a chance, but given the strength of this new track, taken from their forthcoming record Hummingbird out next year, I may have to delve into their back catalogue.
So it treads the ever so tender tightrope between Arcade Fire and Foals with it’s epic grandeur and intimate guitar lines, it’s tailor made to be remixed into an indie dancefloor hit, yet it’s still one of the best songs of 2012 thus far. Check out Breaking below, and keep an eye out for Hummingbird, out 28 January.
