The Neighbourhood

I recently came across this new-ish alternative group called The Neighbourhood and there music isn't half bad. They have a slightly raw-r sound than most alternative bands and they incorporate many different types of sounds into their music which makes their music very interesting. They also include some electronic sounds that I think give their songs a little "texture." But I also generally like songs that have interesting and fast beats. One thing I found interesting is on allmusic.com, they said that the fans of the band would also most likely be fans of modern pop music. To me, that statement is kind of like the cold truth to me. I don't like to think of myself as someone who loves any song as long as it sounds good - in my fake reality, I like to think that I enjoy music because it has merit, great vocals, and is instruementally put together very well. But that statement was like a slap in the face. It's true, I do just like any song that sounds good, regardless if it is by The Beatles or Selena Gomez...

ANYWAYS, I still think this band has great potential to producing some great hits in the near future. Their most popular release is titled "Sweater Weather."

I also really enjoy the song "Female Robbery." The intro of the song is very captivating and really draws in the listener.

Their song, "How," shows more of their electronic side versus their alternative side.

The more I listen to this band, the more I like them. Just in writing this blog about them, I already like them way more. I will definitely be on the watch for their next album.
