Having spent some time this weekend at the beach in the breezy sunshine, we happened upon the perfect soundtrack on the drive home.  Check out young Newbury Park band, The Neighbourhood, and the official video for their Sweater Song.  Between the Cali vignettes, the trampolining and the song’s harmony-and-chime-a-thon from 2:36 on, it was love at first listen/viewing.  Check it out and then check out their video for another fine song, Female Robber.  They’ve got the hypno-jangle thing down.  We don’t know much about this band, but we love what we’re hearing so far.  We’re not alone here–they’re in heavy rotation on BBC’s Radio 1 and elsewhere. After the videos, you can download their first EP, I’m Sorry, for free at the widget way below.
