Follow up to their 2010 "Gorilla Manor". The band built a studio/rehearsal space in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles to work on Hummingbird, before recording in Montreal and then Brooklyn, where they produced it with the National's Aaron Dessner.
Humminbird it's one of the most anticipated album downloads of 2013 and we're here to keep up with the leaks.
Speaking to Pitchfork about working with Dessner, Local Natives' Matt Frazier said: "One night, after maybe drinking a little bit too much, he was like, "Maybe I should work with you guys." We were like, "Sure, buddy." After meeting with all these other producers, it just seemed like we should work with somebody we really get along with and respect as a songwriter."
I highly recommend reading the full interview the band which Pitchfork made while waiting for the album to leak! There's also pre-order downloads set-up below.
Been waiting for this!
LOL. It HAS leaked, what y’all mean? FOOLS! BAHAHAHAHAHA.
What? I’ve pre-ordered the deluxe album already.. but any vague pointers you could provide on where someone might find it, would be great.
uhh, where?
@Penis – Seen the odd torrentlink but I’m sure they’ve been reported as suspicious/fake.
It is a fake
Nope. Legit. Just hasn’t leaked yet. When it does (if it does), they will give hint links. :P So you can find it.
I think you’ve misunderstood. Daniel said that the torrent links currently available are fakes and he’s right.
Track 11 “Bowery” leaked
And it’s awesome!
It has potential!

What’s funny is I just bought it on vinyl at a store in town. So i’ve got it already, just can’t download the MP3s til the end of the month.
Where’d you buy it from?
Are you in the UK?
there is a few reliable sources that there is a streaming service for the album. http://www.tape.tv/channel/localnatives is the link. but Germany, Austria and Swiss only
It’s leaked. Currently being shared on Soulseek.

It has leaked in MP3 320.
It is available on The Pirate Bay now. Legit.
Note that the leak is a transcode and has been removed from both private torrent site’s What and Waffles: http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/8149/natives.png
I KNEW it.
Their facebook page links to Itunes where you can stream the whole album for free, for the time being.
It’s true the album is on pirate bay at 320k… I don’t think it sounds finished though – possibly unmastered tracks. They all lack oomph and good separation to be honest and the cymbals sound really compressed. That’s all I’ll say though. I’m still waiting for my preorder.
