‘Mathy melodies, slick licks and funky percussion’ – Spindle Magazine

Up-and-coming indie-dance quartet Native People announce their debut EP ‘Tapes’, set for independent release on 25th May.
The band’s previous efforts have been widely praised, with their first single, ‘Calm Forever’ being highlighted as BBC Introducing’s ‘Record of the Week’ and Amazing Radio’s ‘Discovery of the Week’, while its follow up, ‘ONE’, received multiple plays on Tom Robinson's BBC 6Music radio show.

The coastal quartet, who hail from Kent, say: ‘the inspiration for Tapes EP started with us setting out to create our own vision of dance music and indie guitars, building on our earlier material by pushing the tempo and refining the production’.
The result is three seaside-influenced, sentimental takes on dreamscape indiedance, plus two remixes of the title cut, courtesy of Earmilk-approved The Citrus Clouds and electro-disco collective Lua Sonique. To record ‘Tapes’, the band teamed up with Mark Lord, who recorded their first singles, and whose previous remixing work has earned radio play from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong. Lord’s strong background in dance music production, coupled with the band’s unanimous admiration of 80s synths and the early progenitors of power-pop, has resulted in a refreshingly upbeat EP that’s perfect for its early summer release.

Despite their youth, Reuben (21), Luke (20), Connor (18) and Hudd (18), masterfully craft songs well beyond their years, citing a wealth of influences and drawing impressive comparisons to acts such as Foals, Two Door Cinema Club and Friendly Fires. The band cite their own influences on this record as Theme Park, The 1975, and Bombay Bicycle Club, married with an effort to capture that much-loved 80s vintage sound. Already sporting a strong live following, which has seen them support acts such
as Mausi, Jaws, and Dave Rowntree of Blur on tour, Native People also played a sold-out show at KOKO for Club NME last September.

They return to the live fore to play an electric EP launch at Barfly this May, along with performing at Spindle Magazine’s stage at The Great Escape, kicking off a summer that’s bound to hold big things for these talented newcomers.

Tapes

We see it in the lines of our faces. 
The weight in our eyes of amazement.
It's alright it's alright it's alright.
We'll spend all our time getting wasted.
When we were young, we believed in
what we'd become, but this is all.

Oh to be alive. Here at the end of time...

We put our knees to the pavement,
faint from the weight of amazement.
It's alright it's alright it's alright.
It's time that we finally faced it.

To Be Alive

Matter Of Time

 	
we're headed to a place
where nothing's ever quite what it seems
and in this land of sunshine and palm trees
we're headed to our dreams

we're driving down coast
where we'll end up no one knows
we love this land of sunkissed beauties
I hope we never leave

california, california
sunshine everyday
things are going my way

california, california
party every night
man we're living the life

we're walking down the street
we treasure all the people we meet
'cause in this land of endless love-making
there's so much that we can be

California

Here's the title track from our debut album, "Classic." Song out now on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Music, etc. Full album coming JUNE 1.

LYRICS:

Driving in my hot rod,
Sipping on my Coca-Cola Classic,
And the radio is playing some old rock and roller singing,
‘bout a girl who ran away, yeah, some old classic,

Driving down Sunset, windows down,
Hear the motor blasting,
And the kids are on the streets, red, white, and blue popsicles,
Mountains in the background, so damn classic,

I’m living in the past with you,
Kick it old school’s what we do,
Anything for a good time,

I’m jumping into to bed with you,
California kids will do,
Anything for a good time,

Na na na na na…

Headed to the beach now,
Music of the mariachi passes,
All girls in their bikinis drinking coconut water,
All the surfers ride the waves, yeah, it’s so classic,

Underneath the sun, 
Everyone wearing black sunglasses,
Standing in the neon and they don’t know where they’re going,
Drowning sorrows in their milkshakes, so damn classic,

I’m living in the past with you,
Kick it old school’s what we do,
Anything for a good time,

I’m jumping into to bed with you,
California kids will do,
Anything for a good time,

Na na na na na…

Let’s go out and we can,
Rule this town for at least a weekend,
Me, you, and all of our friends too,

Let’s go out and find us,
All the good things that still remind us,
Love forever classic too

I’m living in the past with you,
Kick it old school’s what we do,
Anything for a good time,

Na na na na na…
