Local Natives announce new album, new single

It's been way too long since we've heard any new material from Local Natives. The Los Angeles group become everyone's favorite it-band when it released their 2009 debut Gorilla Manor, and have been touring on the current of it ever since.

A few months back news broke of the band working on new material, but it wasn't certain when we'd actually hear anything. Finally, today we finally can listen to the first new material from the band in nearly three years with "Breakers." The lush single is probably the first of many from the band's upcoming album Hummingbird, which is officially scheduled for release January 29 via Frenchkiss Records.

The band promptly released upcoming tour dates with the news, with a special stop at Philly's Union Transfer April 4. You can see the full list of tour dates via the band's official website, here.
