Local Natives have unveiled a new covers EP featuring songs by Roxy Music, Michael McDonald, 10cc, and Gerry Rafferty. It’s called Music from the Pen Gala 1983 and was recorded for the Apple TV+ series The Shrink Next Door. Check it out below.
In addition to lending their music to The Shrink Next Door, Local Natives also star as a cover band in an episode where Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell attend the titular Pen Gala. In character, the group performs their cover songs to a dolled-up audience.
Local Natives latest album, Violet Street, came out in 2019. Last year, they teamed up with Sharon Van Etten for the single “Lemon” and collaborated with Classixx on the track “Weekends.”
