“Gorilla Manor” is the nickname given to the SoCal dwelling where most of the members of Local Natives once lived, and one imagines the name is apt and the good. Local Natives have a familiar sound-- rustic vocals, harmonies, clattering percussion-- but songwriting skill and youthful energy mark their striking debut.

Although recorded in late 2008, wasn’t released until 14 months later, allowing the chance to build a strong blog buzz before their debut hit American shores. The delay wasn’t entirely beneficial, however, as sounds quite similar to a number of albums that flourished in the interim. ’ sunny harmonies call to mind ’ debut and ’s, while the band’s polyphonic hand percussion - which, at its most frenzied, is almost tribal sounding - evokes memories of s.
For all its familiarity, though, ’ first album is still an enjoyable piece of work, filled with enough pop melodies and multi-cultural quirks to make the year-long holdup fairly worthwhile. The band pitches itself somewhere between the post-punk camp and Afro-beat village, with the musicians often yelping their verses in multi-part harmony before barreling into Technicolor choruses. Matt Frazier’s percussion is sharp, crisp, and always in the foreground, often assuming as much importance as the vocals themselves, while the album’s production - courtesy of the bandmates themselves, along with fellow Silver Lake resident - stretches a layer of pan-ethnic atmosphere over all 12 tracks, a move that bridges any gaps in the young group's songwriting. May have arrived several months late for their own party, but is a refreshing example of good quality trumping bad timing.
