Native sophomore album out today, tour with O'Brother continues throughout the U.S.


Northwest Indiana's Native release their sophomore album Orthodox today, while currently on tour throughout the U.S. with O'Brother. See complete dates below. The entire album is currently available to stream courtesy of Brooklyn Vegan HERE. (Soundcloud link HERE.)

Check out live video of the band playing "Kissing Bridge" in Paris, from their recent European headlining tour. Watch video HERE.

In just a handful of years, Native have quietly built themselves a large word-of-mouth following in the underground as an incendiary live act. The iconoclast group's impeccable musicianship, ominous chords, apocalyptic vocals and innovative rhythms hit with an intensity that can only be described as akin to a white-knuckle thrill ride. 

There's as much suffocating darkness as there is thoughtful focus to Native's intricate song structures and pensive lyrics. There's a dark foreboding in the guitar lines simultaneously pushing and pulling, the whole band embracing and tearing apart musical convention with the unpredictability of a protest gone awry. 

Orthodox was recorded by Greg Norman (Russian Circles, Pelican) in Tolono, IL and in Chicago throughout 2012 and 2013. The album's taut 8 songs were eventually chosen out of nearly 20 tracks written over a grueling couple of years of writing and reworking ideas in near seclusion. Native's critically-acclaimed 2010 debut full length Wrestling Moves was also issued by Sargent House. The band's self-released EP We Delete: Erase in 2008 got the attention of Sargent House, who then signed the band to management and label. 

Orthodox is available everywhere on LP, CD and download via Sargent House on August 20th, 2013.
