SOTD: Local Natives // Airplanes

Preparing for Bonnaroo, we tried to listen to as much music as we could from bands that we didn't know very well that were going to play at the festival.  I remember starting a long drive in downtown Washington on a cloudy day, moving zippily down Constitution or Independence and playing Local Natives.  Each song was a sort of 'aha!', 'oh!' moment.  Absolutely beautiful combination of strings, strong percussion, keys and group singing following heavy melodies.  Since then, I can't seem to stop listening.  I traveled to New York City a few weeks ago to see them on Governors Island - amazing show.   Now, I will share with you the SOTD - Airplanes.
