Local Natives | Who Knows, Who Cares (A Takeaway Show)

This has already made the rounds nearly everywhere but here - thankfully it’s still great, no matter the lateness.

From the description: …we also wanted to try something complicated, to play with this huge, convoluted corridor. Kelcey, Taylor, Matt, Andy and Ryan spread themselves out between corners and stairways. We’d been talking about this special version of ‘Who Knows, Who Cares’ while organizing the shoot. We wondered whether the piece would be a succession of layers or whether each musician would pick up on the others’ steps. We would never have time to film a progressing notation that needed adjustments… There’d be no retakes; we launched into it under the watchful eye of the passage’s caretaker, letting the magic take care of the rest.

Local Natives had a sleeper hit last year with Gorilla Manor, their LP that I’m still hearing everywhere (which is a good thing). Pick it up via their website, and visit la blogotheque for more great vids like this.
