The Neighbourhood Plans First Album Return in Five Years With Three New Tracks

The Neighbourhood, a California-based alternative rock band, is set to release their first original studio album in five years, titled (((((ultraSOUND))))), on November 14 via Warner Records. The album marks a return to their roots, blending '90s alt-rock energy with modern introspective elements, and draws inspiration from Brit-pop while maintaining their signature California indie sound. The band has shared three new tracks ahead of the album: "Private," which features a GarageBand drum break and vocals recorded on a phone; "Lovebomb," originating from a Jono-and-Abels loop; and "OMG," exploring themes of resilience and commitment in relationships. The Neighbourhood recently reunited in November 2024 after a three-year hiatus, with drummer Brandon Fried returning following a period of personal challenges and recovery from substance abuse. Lyrically, the album is intimate and self-aware, dealing with heartbreak, disillusionment, and emotional vulnerability, reflecting the band's artistic growth. This release follows the band's last album, Chip Chrome & The Mono-Tones (2020), and frontman Jesse Rutherford's solo projects.
