Native – We Delete; Erase
Record Label: Sargent House / Big Scary Monsters
Release Date 2008 (U.S.) / April 20, 2009 (U.K.)
Who?
Another solid signing by Sargent House and later Big Scary Monsters, Native create a forceful middle ground between screamy post-hardcore and calming noodle-rock (a la Minus The Bear).
How Is It?
It’s been a slow climb for Native. Their EP saw countless pressings before catching the ear of Sargent House. But it’s simple, fans of impressive guitar playing who don’t mind a shouted vocal or twelve should adore We Delete; Erase. The album is joyfully diverse, as there are vocal sections reminiscent of scene heroes Trophy Scars (“Ride The Tide”) juxtaposed to numbers that are mostly instrumental and completely zany (“Something About Swordsmanship”). To me, this is creativity incarnate. I think it goes without saying that their new record is highly, highly anticipated.

Touring with La Dispute? That alone will make me check them out.
I saw Native on a tour I booked for a band called Giants. They were awesome and i've been addicted to them since. Glad to hear about the new forthcoming album.
