32)"The Mid-Morning Recording"        Local Natives-'Gorilla Manor'
The big buzz band from 2009. Unfortunately, we missed these guys in 2009. As I write this after SXSW 2010 has passed, we didn't get to see them this year either. I do like this record rather a lot. We've been playing songs from it for a while now. It even came out late last year in the UK. I love drums, and this album is drum heavy. They must be good live.
