Album Review: Neighbors - Hellomind EP

Hailing from Long Island (NY), Neighbors caught some media attention when their song ‘Bodies’ was featured on a videogame soundtrack, and now release their debut EP ‘Hellomind’ unto the world. Opening track ‘Bodies’ is a tennis match between a heavy bass-driven riff and an atmospheric half-emptiness only disrupted by sustained notes and echoing guitars, letting Ian Kenny’s voice rip through the sound scape. Spastic guitar soloing and some more piano are laden onto the song to build up towards an epic final chorus.

‘Beautiful Birds’ opens as a bluesy number guided by a sultry voice, accompanied by some bar stool piano and resonating guitars, achieving a sound that doesn’t stray too far off Thrice’s more recent style. The guitar turns to distortion and cymbals crash as the band unleash a hard rocking chorus advising us to "call the doctor, call the doctor". The song finds a confident stride between blues-tinged cool to alternative rock amp wrecker before a fuzzy guitar solo battles its way through feedback in what turns out to be a fine moment of musicianship.

Album Review: Now, Now Every Children - Neighbors

Every once in a while you hear a record which is not only a collection of great songs, but one which pulls them together as a piece of art. As Now, Now Every Children’s EP ‘Neighbors’ ethereally flows through its six tracks, it defines itself as a collection of experiences to be taken in one breath by the listener. It’s an astonishingly good EP.

The mood set by ‘Neighbors’ varies from the optimistic to hauntingly negative, as NNEC combine and flutter between distorted guitars, ambient keys and beautifully crafted melodies. These are led by Cacie Dalager’s angelic voice, which blends the quirky qualities of Eisley with Hayley Williams at her most restrained, often adding an element of hope to the solemn aspects of NNEC’s music.
