The Neighbourhood have been one of the hottest new acts on the Internet since they arrived early this year as men of mystery with the single “Female Robbery.” The young Newbury Park-based quintet followed it with an even better single, “Sweater Weather,” and now today marks something of the band’s coming-out party – the release of their free EP “I’m Sorry.” The third single (all of which debuted on Zane Lowe’s BBC show), “Wires,” speaks to 20-year-old frontman Jesse James Rutherford’s hip-hop roots; it’s a minimalist ditty that sees him stylin’ with admirable restraint through the spoken-word part. Overall, “I’m Sorry” wraps the Neighbourhood’s youthful romanticism and beyond-their-years sagacity into five slices of pop ’n’ soul that sound poppin’ fresh. The record industry has noticed – there’s keen interest in the band’s L.A. show on Tuesday. Let the bidding begin.
