Local Natives Return with New Song "Past Lives:" Listen

Local Natives have kept a relatively low profile since their last album, 2013′s Hummingbird. Today, they’ve returned with “Past Lives,” their first new song in three years. They unveiled the song at a surprise show in San Francisco last night. Listen to the studio recording below.

Here’s what guitarist/vocalist Taylor Rice had to say about the song in a press release:

The world is not static, it’s made new over and over again. But we tend to live the same patterns in a loop, loving the same way, wrestling the same demons, the same dynamics playing out around us again and again. Untangling every moment and decision that led us to where we are now can make fate feel concrete, inescapable. But our world is not fixed, it’s constantly reemerging, and we can change it into whatever we want.

Correction: A previous version of this story misstated Taylor Rice’s role in the band and the location of last night’s concert. They performed in San Francisco, not Los Angeles.
