Meet The Neighbours

Darling New Neighbors
Genre: Rock / Indie / Soul
From: Austin, Texas, United States


Comparisons fall fast and loose with the Darling New Neighbors, who play upon the soft-hard smash like The Pixies and lo-fi contemporaries, the Vivian Girls. They're eclectic without being diluted, genre-mixing without getting lost and they're great if you need to borrow some sugar.

The Darling New Neighbors were born in 2004, when Elizabeth, a classically trained violinist with roots in the Dirty South, met bluegrasser with a heart of rock-androll,
Amy Moreland. Drummer Karl Lundin recently became the band's magical third element.

'Rocket', the trio's self-released follow-up to debut album Every Day Is Saturday Night, is filled with tracks that shapeshift like an epileptic werewolf. From the riffed, sprawling Electrolux to the masochistic, Latin-flavored Tango, from the love as flash-burning and flesh burning resource, Gasoline to the dirty-talk thrash of Take It and the psychedelic, girl-group layers of Stars listening to 'Rocket' is like dipping your hand into a box of musical Quality Street.


With 'Rocket' Darling New Neighbors are about to go into orbit.
