About the album

Some albums get a second life, and Wiped Out! got one courtesy of a few million teenagers with phones. The Neighbourhood's second LP came out on Columbia in October 2015, a moody, reverb-soaked record that traded some of the band's guitar crunch for what Billboard heard as "more hazy R&B than rock," and it did nicely at the time. Then, five years later, "Daddy Issues" took off on TikTok and a whole new generation decided this slow-motion heartbreak was exactly the soundtrack they'd been looking for.

Producers Justyn Pilbrow and 4e built most of it in studios in Malibu and Santa Monica, but the second half was cut at guitarist Zach Abels's mom's house, the same place the band first wrote "Sweater Weather," which kinda explains the late-night, bedroom intimacy of songs like "Cry Baby" and "R.I.P. 2 My Youth." Mark Stent's mix keeps it glossy without losing the fog. A decade on, it sounds less like a difficult second album and more like the record their fans always knew it was, and it has earned a proper anniversary pressing. Turn the lights down and let it drift.

On Columbia/Legacy, a 10th anniversary reissue of the 2015 album.
