But I'll Wait for You is the sixth studio album by American indie rock band Local Natives. It was released on April 19, 2024, through Loma Vista Recordings and Concord.

Contents

The album comes nine months after the band's fifth studio album, Time Will Wait for No One (2023), and is described as its companion or "sister" album. It was preceded by the singles "April" and "Alpharetta". It is the final album to feature co-lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Kelcey Ayer, who announced his departure from the band on April 29, 2024, ten days following the album's release.

Background

Recorded during the same sessions as Time Will Wait for No One, Local Natives described the album as "the second half of a large body of music we made together, the first half we shared last year with Time Will Wait for No One. It's a companion piece. A sister album. Maybe not an answer to a question, but an exhale to an inhale. So little is in our control, but among all this chaos we can choose to be there for each other. Thank you again to John Congleton, Michael Harris, and Danny Reisch, the incredibly talented producers who helped us bring these songs into their fully realized selves." [2] [3]

On April 29, 2024, ten days after the album's release, Local Natives announced the amicable departure of founding member Kelcey Ayer, who will, however, remain with the group for the last phase of their touring in support of Time Will Wait for No One and But I'll Wait for You. [4]

Release

The album's lead single, "April", was released simultaneously with the album announcement on March 25, 2024. [5] "Alpharetta" was released as the second single on April 5, 2024. [6] But I'll Wait for You was released by Loma Vista on April 19, 2024. [7]
