Local Natives
Camera Talk Infectious Records 7”

Article written by Ged M - Nov 12, 2009

‘Camera Talk’ is impressively muscular – pounding drums, sawing violins, a piano being attacked - but it has no real heart: there’s a weak Police-esque chorus that makes you wonder: “is that it?” The b-side is a cover version, and although releasing a cover this early in a career can be fatal (witness Glasvegas’ dire second single version of ‘Be My Baby’ that pegged them as witless copyists), this b-side pulls it off. ‘Warning Sign’ has all of Talking Heads’ art-weirdness but adds sumptuous harmonies a la Fleet Foxes to create something different and very listenable. I’ve liked earlier material by Local Natives but it’s alarming to hear them put out something so lame as ‘Camera Talk’ so early.
