Listen to Local Natives’ New Song “Villainy”

Local Natives returned in April with “Past Lives,” the band’s first new song since their 2013 sophomore LP Hummingbird. Today, Zane Lowe shared another new track from the band on his Beats 1 show. “Villainy,” he says, is the “the first piece of music from” their upcoming third album, which does not yet have a title. During an interview with Lowe, the band’s Taylor Rice and Ryan Hahn say they wrote over 50 songs when making the album; they say that, in the past, they wrote about 16 or 18 per record. Listen to the new song and interview below.
