After debuting the song live at a surprise show last night in San Francisco, Local Natives have shared a studio recording of their first new release in three years, “Past Lives.”

On the track, the band’s Taylor Rice says, “The world is not static, it’s made new over and over again. But we tend to live the same patterns in a loop, loving the same way, wrestling the same demons, the same dynamics playing out around us again and again. Untangling every moment and decision that led us to where we are now can make fate feel concrete, inescapable. But our world is not fixed, it’s constantly reemerging, and we can change it into whatever we want.”
