The Neighbourhood
Monochrome California moodiness — 'Sweater Weather' and a decade of slow-burn alt-pop, reunited for a generation that streamed them into legend.
The Neighbourhood formed in Newbury Park, California, in 2011, with Jesse Rutherford on vocals. Their music combines alternative rock guitars with hip-hop-influenced rhythms and a subdued, R&B-leaning vocal delivery, presented for years with a strict black-and-white visual identity across artwork and videos.
Their debut single "Sweater Weather" became their signature song, and found a substantial second life years after release through streaming and social media. The band's albums continued in a similar vein of moody, mid-tempo alt-pop, and their following has skewed heavily toward listeners who discovered the catalogue online rather than on radio.
