Watch Local Natives’ Sweet New Diy Video for ‘ceilings’ [video]

One of our favorite bands, Local Natives, just posted their video for “Ceilings” made of patched clips shot entirely from their phones. Singer-guitarist, Taylor Rice, explains: ”This video was recorded between bus calls and soundchecks, truck stops and stage times over the last couple of months on tour, mostly in Europe. Whether shot in decades-closed german car factories, places of legendary spanish architecture, or on bikes in amsterdam it was filmed on our phones in the cracks between shows which make up 97% of our lives as touring musicians. The themes of surrealism in Ceilings work with the patchwork of days cultures and memories that stream by in a blur on a summer festival run. hope you enjoy the glimpse, most of which has already washed through.”

So there you have it — a gorgeous, intimate video for a beautiful song from Hummingbird, which is hands down one of our favorite albums of the year. Be sure to give their latest a listen if you haven’t yet and get out to see Local Natives live — tour dates below including dates with both Lucius and Wild Nothing.
