Let's face it. Every blog is touting summer tunes. The penultimate summer songs and records are here. Local Natives have my favorite song of the year so far, "Sun Hands." They are from the hipsterest part of LA--Silverlake--and their tunes appeal to Pitchfork and Relix readers. I hate myself for missing Local Natives at Larimer Lounge a few months back. I have two excuses, but neither is a good enough reason at this point. I've read that they weren't great at Bonnaroo, but I have to believe this won't be true two summers from now once they sift out their identity from the amalgam of pastoral rock (MMJ, Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses) they currently provide. MMJ in 2002 would have been mild at Bonnaroo, but in '04 laid out legendary "Beyond the Thunderdome." See Local Natives now: Before They Were Big.
