Today, LA’s Local Natives announce their sixth studio album ‘But I’ll Wait For You‘ (out April 19th digitally via Loma Vista Recordings), a companion to their 2023 record Time Will Wait For No One. It will be followed by a 13-date North American tour that kicks off May 4th at BeachLife Festival in Redondo Beach, CA.
‘But I’ll Wait For You‘ is a culmination of nearly two decades of brotherhood, and a mantra of reassurance in response to relentless changes. In a statement about the album Local Natives said “But I’ll Wait For You is the companion piece to our 2023 release Time Will Wait For No One. Maybe not an answer to a question but an exhale to an inhale. There is so little that’s in our control but among all this chaos, we can choose to be there for each other.”
The album showcases the band’s seminal harmonies as well as an adventurousness that explores new territory for Local Natives. It’s accompanied by single ‘April‘, a driving and yearning track with pristine harmonies that comes with a playful, cinematic video inspired by Francis Ford Coppola’s film The Conversation. Directed by Jon Chu, the one shot video culminates in a scene of the band performing a choreographed dance in LA’s Pershing Square.
‘But I’ll Wait For You‘ is now available to pre-order digitally, with the physical album pre-order launching tomorrow, Tuesday March 26th.
