At various times over their five-year career, the Neighbourhood have sounded like bass-obsessed ’80s giants, fuzz-obsessed soul men, cosmos-obsessed rappers or guys drunk on their own experimentation. Their fans’ obsession, though, is frontman Jesse Rutherford, who sings and phrases vulnerability and longing with the best of ’em. So it is on the Neighbourhood’s latest single, “Void.” Leaving the guitars on the rack for this one, “Void” is just Rutherford’s cooing (and spinning some nifty rhymes) over a synth-swept soundscape.

The single is the latest from the Neighbourhood’s forthcoming third album, a self-titled affair with a simultaneously released deluxe version with six bonus songs. The album includes the highlights of the band’s last two EPs, “Hard” and “To Imagine” — especially the songs “Scary Love,” “Stuck With Me,” “You Get Me So High” and “Sadderdaze.” The releases arrive March 9.
