The Neighbourhood

After five years away, The Neighbourhood return with (((((ultraSOUND))))) — a record that feels less like a comeback than a renewal. The California band that defined black-and-white pop melancholy in the 2010s has found color again, or at least shades of it.

(((((ultraSOUND))))) sounds like a band with nothing to prove and everything to say — five musicians rediscovering the balance between control and chaos that made them matter in the first place.
