Editor's note

Native's steady, thoughtful New Zealand pop

A band from New Zealand that makes reflective, melodic music without much flash.

For a good sense of their sound, try 'Brother, I' or 'Backseat Crew'. It's straightforward work from a group that seems comfortable in their lane.

Native's songs like 'Brother, I' and 'The Thought Of Loving You' show a preference for personal themes and understated writing. Their debut album 'Ocean' reached number one in New Zealand, and they've kept a steady pace with releases like 'Heart & Mind' and 'Moments'. The music stays in that zone of thoughtful pop, more interested in consistency than reinvention.

Native formed in New Zealand with Kelsi Mayne on vocals, Nik Brinkman on guitar, Jeremy Redmore on drums, and Michael Redman on bass. They released their debut album 'Ocean' in 2017, followed by 'Heart & Mind' in 2019 and 'Moments' in 2022. The band faced some legal issues around 2018 regarding ownership of their music, which they eventually resolved.

Archive material and source history

Native formed in New Zealand with Kelsi Mayne on vocals, Nik Brinkman on guitar, Jeremy Redmore on drums, and Michael Redman on bass. They released their debut album 'Ocean' in 2017, which included the title track that reached number one on the New Zealand charts. Their songs like 'Slowly Fading' and 'The Thought Of Loving You' show their preference for reflective, melodic writing.

In 2019 they followed with 'Heart & Mind', and then 'Moments' in 2022. The band faced some legal issues around 2018 regarding ownership of their music, which they eventually resolved. Their material tends toward personal themes without much flash, heard in tracks such as 'The Truth' and 'Backseat Crew'.

They've kept a steady pace with releases rather than chasing trends. The music stays in that zone of thoughtful pop, with songs like 'Bella' and 'Guilty' maintaining the same understated approach. It's straightforward work from a group that seems more interested in consistency than reinvention.
