In 2018, U.S.-based songwriter \u003cstrong\u003eErin Umstead\u003c\/strong\u003e visited New Zealand on a working holiday visa. While traveling around the country, she found herself in Christchurch at a gig by the jangle-pop band \u003cstrong\u003eSalad Boys.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eUmstead\u003c\/strong\u003e eventually struck up a friendship and creative partnership with that group’s leader,\u003cstrong\u003e Joe Sampson\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as another local musician, drummer \u003cstrong\u003eRory Dalley.\u003c\/strong\u003e Together, the trio started playing shows and writing songs under the name \u003cstrong\u003eLocal Tourist.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Ways of Living\u003c\/strong\u003e, the band’s debut album, came together under far less idyllic circumstances. The band members were limited by time—\u003cstrong\u003eUmstead’s\u003c\/strong\u003e stay in New Zealand had an expiration date due to her visa—and tracked the bulk of the album in just a few days. Consider it a testament to the band’s chemistry and focus that these limits didn’t hamper \u003cstrong\u003eOther Ways of Living‘s\u003c\/strong\u003e execution; the music is languid and deliberate, and doesn’t sound rushed or haphazard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA delicate urgency threads its way through \u003cstrong\u003e“Alive,”\u003c\/strong\u003e an indie rock song that resembles the more stripped-back moments on \u003cstrong\u003eHole’s Live Through This\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the guitar textures on the lithe \u003cstrong\u003e“Colors”\u003c\/strong\u003e are moody and desolate.\u003cem\u003e (Bandcamp Daily)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl, LP, Translucent White Limited edition of 250\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1 Colors\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2 Hemispheres\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA3 You Are Alone\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA4 How You Left It\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB5 Undone\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB6 I Am Water\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB7 Alive\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB8 Dark\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SoRTf3MVJtE\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Local Tourist","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP Colour","offer_id":58596868784463,"sku":"MICV008","price":7.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":58596868817231,"sku":"0","price":1.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2164\/3343\/files\/local.jpg?v=1787985124","url":"https:\/\/www.vinylforger.com\/products\/local-tourist-other-ways-of-living","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
