Time Will Wait for No One is the fifth studio album by American indie rock band Local Natives. It was released on July 7, 2023, by Loma Vista Recordings with distribution handled by Concord Music Group.

Background

Local Natives worked on the album while they were enduring a "time of metamorphosis" as individuals.[1] On August 14, 2021, as they were halfway through creating their fifth album, the band performed at Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Their first live performance in almost two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band called it "one of the most emotional concerts of our lives". It occurred as members were confronting parenthood, isolation, loss, and identity crisis. After the performance, the band felt unsure of their future and were "on the verge of a collapse".[2][3] Experiencing their longest separation since they formed, the members were forced to redefine how to work together again. They worked toward developing deeper trust and honesty. As a result, the band found themselves in a prolific period where they wrote more music than they ever have before.[4] The album was recorded with producers John Congleton, Michael Harris and Danny Reisch.[5]

Release

The band released the double single A-side single "Desert Snow" and "Hourglass" on July 22, 2022.[6] "Just Before the Morning" was released on October 12, 2022.[7] The album's lead single, "NYE", was released simultaneously with the album announcement on May 9, 2023.[8] "Paradise" was released as the final single on June 27, 2023.[9] Time Will Wait for No One was released by Loma Vista on July 7, 2023.[5]
