Watch: Local Natives Share Music Video For "Ceilings"

Los Angeles based foursome Local Natives have shared the video for "Ceilings", the third single taken from their latest album 'Hummingbird', released earlier this year via Frenchkiss Records.

Directed by Nik Ewing & Local Natives, the video was filmed on the band's phones in the cracks between their latest shows.

Lead vocalist Taylor Rice explained: "This video was recorded between bus calls and soundchecks, truck stops and stage times over the last couple of months on tour, mostly in Europe. Whether shot in decades-closed German car factories, places of legendary Spanish architecture, or on bikes in Amsterdam, it was filmed on our phones in the cracks between shows which make up 97% of our lives as touring musicians. The themes of surrealism in Ceilings work with the patchwork of days, cultures and memories that stream by in a blur on a summer festival run."
