Why It Matters

The Neighbourhood is one of those bands that reminds me that pop music doesn’t have to suck.  Debut album I Love You dropped last month, following an EP released last August.  Both include the track “Sweater Weather,” which is infectious as they come.

That tempo change at the end is what grabs me, but the whole track is solid.  Good beat, Jesse Rutherford’s vocal is tight — it’s just a good cut.
