It's pretty much guaranteed that if you cover a Talking Heads song you're gonna get a mention here. So here is Warning Sign by Local Natives, the latest in 'forked late 00's sounding indie rock who are now getting some mainstream attention after a year of UK hype and blog buzz (including ours) with their debut full length Gorilla Manor. They're one of those bands that everyone has to name drop other bands they sound like, you know, a little Vampire Weekend, a little Dodos, a little Yeasayer, a little Fleet Foxes, a little of everything that hardcore kid hates about hipsters. Secretly though he knows this stuff sounds good, so he'll just rename it Reagan Youth in iTunes and hope nobody notices. Tackling a track from one of the greatest albums ever made takes balls, and to make it sound all your own without losing the spirit of the original takes talent, which this LA 5-piece certainly has.
