Local Natives 'Violet Street'

After debuting their new single ‘Café Amarillo,’ Local Natives have revealed their new full-length Violet Street, will drop on April 26th via Loma Vista Recordings. With the announcement of the album the band has shared ‘When Am I Gonna Lose You?’. Actress and style icon Kate Mara gives a chilling, melancholic performance in the video that evokes classic LA films such as David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive and Mike Nichols’ The Graduate. The video was shot in and around the Hollywood Hills in February 2019. It is directed by Van Alpert (Post Malone) and features visuals by Public-Library (Drake, Mac Miller, Nike). Violet Street, was recorded with producer Shawn Everett [Alabama Shakes, Kacey Musgraves, The War On Drugs].

The question at the heart of Violet Street that threads together ‘Café Amarillo,’ ‘When Am I Gonna Lose You?’ and the other eight original tracks is, ‘With all of the chaos in the world, where do you find your shelter?’

“I got married last year,” says Taylor Rice (vocals, guitar). “I found myself in an incredible relationship that was great on so many levels, but I always felt like it was going to go away, fall apart, and crumble. This song is me diving into murky emotions of anxiety and doubt in the middle of love and joy.”
