The Neighbourhood is an American alternative rock band formed in Newbury Park, California, in 2011. The group is known for its eclectic mix of indie rock, electronic, and R&B influences, which have allowed them to craft a distinct and atmospheric sound characterized by muted tones and moody lyricism. Consisting of lead vocalist Jesse Rutherford, guitarists Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels, bassist Mikey Margott, and drummer Brandon Fried, the band cemented their popularity with their breakout hit "Sweater Weather," which became a chart-topping success shortly after its release.

Their music often explores themes of love, introspection, and the complexities of relationships, coated in a signature aesthetic that's both contemporary and nostalgic. The Neighbourhood's discography features a series of ambitious and cohesive projects, with albums such as "I Love You." and "Wiped Out!" receiving critical and fan acclaim for their moody soundscapes and anthemic choruses. They continued to evolve with releases like "Hard to Imagine The Neighbourhood Ever Changing," showcasing their ability to traverse different musical landscapes while maintaining their identity. Their recent work, including the ambitious "Chip Chrome & The Mono-Tones," reflects a band comfortable in its skin yet still pushing the boundaries of their sound. The deluxe edition of the latter offers a deeper dive into their creative reinvention, reinforcing their status as shapeshifters within the alternative music scene.
