The Neighbourhood Announces New Album “(((((ultraSOUND)))))”, Shares Three New Songs “Private”, “OMG” & “Lovebomb”
American alt-rock band The Neighbourhood, consisting of Jesse Rutherford (vocals), Zach Abels (guitar), Brandon Fried (drums), Jeremy Freeman (guitar), and Mikey Margott (bass), is back.
Back in August, the band announced drummer Brandon Fried returned to the band and had reunited.
The band has announced their upcoming fifth studio album “(((((ultraSOUND)))))” will be released on November 14, 2025 via Warner Records.
The album is their first body of work in five years since the 2020 album Chip Chrome & the Mono-Tones and comprises 15 tracks.
From the album, the band released three new songs “Private”, “OMG” and “Lovebomb”.
“Private” pulses with a vulnerability and groove built around a GarageBand drum break and vocal that the band frontman Jesse Rutherford recorded on his phone.
“Lovebomb,” born from a Jono-and-Abels loop, captures the spiraling of saying “I love you” too soon.
“OMG” explores the resilience of a relationship and unwavering commitment, “by your side, together on the ride, twister or a tidal wave. Rain or shine, you're always on my mind.”
Three songs were written by Brandon Fried, Jeremiah Freedman, jesse rutherford, Jonathan Jacob Dorr, Michael Margott, and Zachary Abels. Produced by Jono Dorr.- Back in 2022, Brandon Fried left the band, following allegations of groping The Marías lead singer Maria Zardoya. This time, he rejoined the band.
The band said of his comeback, “In November 2021, after 10 years together, The Neighbourhood went on an indefinite hiatus. As we entered our early 30s, we were faced with life outside of the band for the first time in our adult lives. Breakups, family struggles, and personal challenges.” -
They continued, “In November 2022, it became evident that Brandon's struggles with substance abuse needed immediate attention, and we agreed it was best for him to step away and focus on his recovery. To those who spoke up and helped bring this to light, thank you. Your courage helped us get our friend the support he needed.”
They added, “We are proud of Brandon, the changes he has made, and the progress he continues to make in his life. Being in each other's lives for over 20 years, when one of us is going through something, it impacts all of us.”
