Local Natives share new single "Paradise"

"Paradise" was written about Kelcey Ayer (vocals/guitar/keys) and his wife’s immense heartache that came with the pain of pregnancy loss in addition to charting the California wildfire disasters.

Speaking of the song, Ayer says: “"Paradise" deals with the reckoning after intense loss. The person in the song brings flowers over to someone’s house to help console them while they’re going through a disastrous event that’s still occurring. My wife and I suffered two losses while trying to have a baby over the last couple years. At the same time California was being ravaged by wildfires. It felt like the world was coming apart. This song definitely helped me process that pain.”

The single follows "NYE", "Just Before The Morning", "Hourglass", and "Desert Snow".

Local Natives' fifth studio album, Time Will Wait for No One was recorded in legendary Los Angeles studios including Valentine Recording Studio, 64Sound and Nest Recorders and is produced by GRAMMY-award winning producer John Congleton (Angel Olsen, Death Cab For Cutie, St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten), Michael Harris (Lana Del Rey, Feist), and Danny Reisch (Sun June, Other Lives).

The album was written while the band was going through a turbulent time: after a decade spending every waking moment together, a period of metamorphosis started to test them with new marriages, kids and bouts of depression and isolation.
