Dark-pop, hip-hop & electronica in the blender on âWiped Outâ
On October 30 2015, American dark-pop/indie-rock collective The Neighbourhood will be dropping second longplayer âWiped Outâ as successor to their 2013 debut âI Love Youâ. Their moody indie-rock mixes with dark electronica & hip-hop beats. The five from California have already collected tens of millions of views on YouTube and âdouble-platinumâ single âSweather Weatherâ even dangled right at the top of Billboardâs alternative chart.
Unorthodox mixtape â#000000 & #FFFFFFâ (out since Nov â14) â with appearances by crackers/rappers like Raury, Danny Brown, DeJ Loaf and French Montana â is witness to their boldness and a deeply rooted love of hip-hop & unintelligible mixtape titles. It wonât go unnoticed (that hip-hop bit) on the new album â about which the guys from The NBHD made the following clear: âWe wanted to write an album that was going to be solid, that you listen to as a project and whether you pick it up the first day it comes out or 6 months after it comes out, itâs like âWhoa thatâs a complete bodyâ.
