"The L.A. band has long carried the flag for a particular strain of SoCal indie, but the follow-up to 2016's fashionably yearning Sunlit Youth sounds both more personal and more timeless".

"With their fourth album, 2019's effusive Violet Street, Local Natives strike a pleasing balance between the promise of their kinetic debut and the atmospheric explorations of their subsequent follow-ups ... Local Natives have grown into an ensemble that favors nuanced melodies and a textural group aesthetic over slick, commercially driven hits".

"Embracing a more arena-rock style, Local Natives have left behind the melancholic sounds of previous releases, Hummingbird and Gorilla Manor. Their fourth studio album, Violet Street, takes a more buoyant and positive approach than usual. Deferring away from minimal guitar licks and harmonizing multi-part vocals, their new breezy and open sound is more energetic than ever, creating music that continues to reflect where they are in their lives".
