Frontman Taylor Rice talks with 88Nine music director Erin Wolf about being in a band with people you’ve known since high school, what it was like to work with famed producer and “musical chef” John Congleton for this latest record, and how it feels great to be making music together in person again and playing two albums’ worth of songs on tour.
They also took time to mull over how Local Natives’ work ethic has shifted as they navigate creative life with their growing families, and how they’re looking for recommendations on what to do in Milwaukee while they’re here for Summerfest 2024.
