Violet Street by Local Natives
Violet Street is an album by Local Natives, released in 2019. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 18 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “When Am I Gonna Lose You”, on 18 lists with a best position of #4.
Violet Street, Local Natives' fourth album, arrived in April 2019, a decade after the Orange County band's debut Gorilla Manor and three years after Sunlit Youth. By now the group that had started out as Cavil at Rest in 2005 was a Los Angeles outfit with a settled crew: Taylor Rice and Kelcey Ayer trading lead vocals, Ryan Hahn on guitar and keyboards, Matthew Frazier on drums.
The sound is the band's familiar sunlit indie rock, stacked harmonies over warm, layered guitars and keys, but polished and roomy. "When Am I Gonna Lose You" is the standout, a gorgeous, anxious slow-burner. Personal turmoil lay ahead, and Ayer would leave after the pair of albums the band recorded side by side, Time Will Wait for No One and But I'll Wait for You.
