This period allowed him to rediscover his love for writing and explore new genres, ultimately enriching the sound he brought back to the band.

However, the 2025 reunion signals a renewed focus and commitment from the core members. The collective decision to return and embark on a new chapter was a significant development, culminating in the signing of a new record deal and the announcement of their next major work.
The New Era: *(((((ultraSOUND)))))* Album and 2025 Tour Details
The release of *(((((ultraSOUND)))))* on November 14, 2025, was lauded as a triumphant return, feeling less like a comeback and more like a true renewal of the band’s alternative rock style.
The album title itself, with its unique formatting, hints at the band's signature aesthetic and their history of blending visual and auditory concepts, such as the monochrome black-and-white visual identity of their early years and the silver-painted character Chip Chrome from their previous album.
Musical Style and Key Entities
The Neighbourhood is famous for pioneering a moody, atmospheric sound that fuses the angst of alternative rock with the rhythms of hip-hop and R&B. This unique blend has made their music the soundtrack to the "sadderdaze" generation.
Key tracks like "Sweater Weather," "Daddy Issues," "Softcore," and "Reflections" remain staples of the indie-pop genre, and the new album is expected to build upon this legacy.
The first singles released from *(((((ultraSOUND)))))*—"Private," "OMG," and "Lovebomb"—showcase Rutherford's compelling lyricism and the band’s ability to craft tracks that are both deeply emotional and commercially appealing.
