Video: The Neighbourhood, ‘Let It Go’

3

The new single “Let It Go” caps a huge year for the Neighbourhood, who rocketed out of Newbury Park and scored some international buzz, first in the U.K., with a five-song EP that included the current single “Sweater Weather.” Now signed to Columbia Records, the quintet of Jessie Rutherford, Jeremy Freedman, Zach Abels, Mikey Margott and Bryan Sammis tease their 2013 full-length with “Let It Go,” another tasty dose of hip-hop-inspired indie R&B. The band’s video collaborators Daniel Iglesias Jr. and Zack Sekuler return with this dark episode that suggests, like the Neighbourhood’s secret-identity beginnings, things are not always what they seem.
