Local Natives will part ways with founding vocalist, keyboardist, and songwriter Kelcey Ayer following their upcoming tour.
The announcement arrives shortly after Local Natives released their sixth album, But I’ll Wait For You, which served as a companion piece to their 2023 album Time Will Wait For No One. “A big theme of Time Will Wait For No One, But I’ll Wait For You is being there for one another, and part of that is accepting change. With that, we wanted to share that our latest album and its upcoming tours will be the last with Kelcey as a member of Local Natives,” the band wrote on Instagram.

Local Natives are giving us something to wait for with the announcement of their forthcoming fifth studio album Time Will Wait for No One, out July 7th via Loma Vista. As a preview, the indie rock veterans have shared its lead single “Nye,” as well as a run of accompanying 2023 tour dates.
For their first album in four years, Local Natives turned to heavyweight producer John Congleton, who helped the band navigate the “time of metamorphosis” that inspired the new music: “Former selves [melted] away as some of us became fathers, endured periods of isolation, loss, and identity crisis,” the band explain in a press release. “The highs and lows we were feeling at the same time were so extreme… As individuals and as a band, we were on the verge of a collapse.”
The statement goes on: “Time flows on uncontrollably and change is relentless, and the people you love are the only constants.
