Local Natives will part ways with founding vocalist, keyboardist, and songwriter Kelcey Ayer following their upcoming tour.
The announcement arrives shortly after Local Natives released their sixth album, But I’ll Wait For You, which served as a companion piece to their 2023 album Time Will Wait For No One. “A big theme of Time Will Wait For No One, But I’ll Wait For You is being there for one another, and part of that is accepting change. With that, we wanted to share that our latest album and its upcoming tours will be the last with Kelcey as a member of Local Natives,” the band wrote on Instagram.

Local Natives are back to announce their sixth album But I’ll Wait For You, due out April 19th.
But I’ll Wait For You is a companion piece from last year’s Time Will Wait For No One, and was conceived during the same sessions with producer John Congleton. The Los Angeles quintet says in a statement that the new album is “the second half of a large body of music we made together” and serves as “maybe not an answer to a question but an exhale to an inhale.” See below for the album’s artwork and tracklist.
As a preview of But I’ll Wait For You, Local Natives have shared the album’s lead single, “April,” along with the track’s music video. With signature dueling vocals from Kelcey Ayer and Taylor Rice, “April” is a breezy slice of reverb-ridden soft rock. The band uses a...

Taylor Rice and the rest of the Local Natives grew up in Mission Viejo, Calif., a city in Orange County that's somewhat less flashy than its Newport and Laguna Beach neighbors and was once the the safest town in the entire country.
"Coachella is the festival that we were always hopping the fence of or getting tickets to," Rice told The Huffington Post in a pre-festival interview. "We're playing this sunset slot on this second outdoor stage, which is sort of surreal now just to say that."
That shift -- from a kid hoping to save enough to attend to playing to one's own fans -- is all the more disorienting given the band's path to the Indio festival. "Hummingbird," Local Natives' second album, took "years" to make and, according to Rice, the band finally feels like they're escaping the "cage" they had to enter to produce it.
