The Neighbourhood (nbhd) are honoring the “Sweater Weather” season by dropping new music.
The indie rock band announced their new album,”(((((ultraSOUND)))))” on Friday, Oct. 24. The project, which is due Nov. 14, will be the nbhd‘s first album in five years. The group’s last full-length project, “Chip Chrome & the Mono-Tones,” was released in 2020.
A press release describes the album as a “powerful return to the band’s roots” that blends “the raw energy of ’90s alt-rock with a modern, introspective edge,” UPROXX reported.
The project also draws inspiration from Brit-pop while the nbhd’s “signature California indie sound.”
Lyrically, the new album is said to be “intimate and self-aware, exploring heartbreak, disillusionment, and emotional vulnerability,” according to UPROXX.
The nbhd put out three new singles as part of the album’s reveal: “OMG,“ ”Lovebomb” and “Private.” Fans can listen to the new tracks on all streaming services as well as pre-save or pre-order “(((((ultraSOUND))))).”
Formed in Newbury Park, California in 2011, the nbhd consists of lead singer Jesse Rutherford, guitarists Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels, bassist Mikey Margott and drummer Brandon Fried.
After releasing two EPs, the band signed with Columbia Records and released their debut album, “I Love You” in 2013. The project’s success was boosted by its third single, “Sweater Weather” which peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and led to Diamond certification.
The band’s other notable hits include “Afraid,” “Daddy Issues,” “Softcore,” “You Get Me So High,” “Reflections” and “The Beach.” Their two other albums are 2015’s “Wiped Out!,” 2018’s “The Neighbourhood.”
The new album will come after Rutherford released his self-titled solo album last year. The singer explained his reasoning for making the project and how it related to the nbhd in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in September 2024.
“I just wanted a moment to not have The Neighbourhood be my identity because, and it is, it’s a big part of it and I love that. But I didn’t stop doing the band just because I wanted to focus on me making a solo record. I just knew that was also going to happen,” Rutherford said.
