Reception
"Breakers" received positive reviews from most music critics. The song was chosen upon release as Pitchfork Media's "Best New Track". Ian Cohen noted that "you can hear the influence of tourmates Arcade Fire and the National in the drums and the production, which shift Local Natives away from the more wooly sounds of Gorilla Manor to something more streamlined and arena-filling." He also noted that "where those bands often sound like they're pushing back at the weight of society's ills and aging, Local Natives still retain their youthful vigor and identifiable quirks with swaying, full-bodied harmonies and a dynamic booster shot of a chorus."[1]
