Neighbourhood Youth – “Stay Safe”

Melbourne’s Neighbourhood Youth match intricacy with angst in their new single “Stay Safe.” What starts out as a subdued track chock full of buoyant guitar melodies and introspective vocals quickly turns into a fiery and deliberate form of release, coated in a thick smog of distortion. It’s a driving hit not unlike the work of Turnover or Tigers Jaw, with a hazy, sun soaked flare that sets their sounds apart. Bassist/lyricist Sam Nathan sums it up with “finding peace with the realization that some things are completely beyond your control.” Catch the video for this bone-rattling track shot by Nick Manuell below, and keep an eye out for the band’s debut album in the coming months.

Neighbourhood Youth – “Lately”

Buzzing Melbourne quartet Neighbourhood Youth recently hit us up with their video for “Lately” and we dug it a lot. The video gets the vintage-filter-treatment and shows a montage of the band at their best, touring the country and having fun both on and off stage. Beyond the official video, their particular brand of indie rock is loud, brash, swimmy, and most importantly, fun. Give it a look-see below. “Lately” is also available on Bandcamp for a very reasonable “pay what you want” rate.
