Neighbourhood, The Vinyl Records
Mixing moody, '90s-style alt-rock with hip-hop and electronic flourishes, California's the Neighbourhood broke through with their debut single "Sweater Weather." The track, which was included on the group's 2012 I'm Sorry... EP, first gained momentum online before hitting number one on Billboard's alternative chart and going platinum. The band continued to explore a similarly atmospheric, cross-pollinated blend of sounds, even digging into synth-heavy pop on 2018's The Neighbourhood and heavy concepts on 2022's Chip Chrome & the Mono-Tones.
