**FESTIVAL PERFORMANCE
London-based duo Good Neighbours return today with their stirring new single, “People Need People”—serving as the final preview of their debut album, Blue Sky Mentality out September 26 via Capitol Records.
Listen to “People Need People” HERE.
The
track, which premiered earlier today as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record,
is a widescreen anthem centered on friendship, solidarity and the
moments we lean on each other most. With luminous synths, pulsing
percussion and a soaring chorus made to be sung shoulder-to-shoulder,
it’s a rousing reminder that no one has to go it alone.
Speaking about the track, the band reveal: “The title
is everything the track is about. When we started this band, we were in
and out of jobs and struggling with staying afloat. Luckily, we had an
amazing group of mates around us who we’ve seen laugh and cry when the
going gets tough. The song should be an arm around the ones you love.”
Watch the official lyric video HERE.
“People Need People” follows the euphoric rush of recent singles "found u/me" and "Suburbs," as well as the duo’s radiant cover of The La’s "There She Goes" for Amazon Music. Together, the tracks showcase the depth and range of Blue Sky Mentality –
a debut album that smuggles big feelings into even bigger choruses,
uniting listeners in moments of catharsis, joy and release.
In just over a year, Good Neighbours have
gone from quietly sharing their first track online to becoming one of
the most talked-about new acts on both sides of the Atlantic. Their
first release “Home” quickly
achieved Platinum status, they have sold out headline shows across the
UK and US, and won over tastemakers at NME, Billboard, and Rolling Stone.
The track soared into the top 10 at Alternative radio in the U.S. and
was one of the most played songs of the year at the format, and has
been streamed over 650 million times.
The announcement of Blue Sky Mentality arrived
with a real sense of homecoming, as Scott and Oli marked the moment
with a sweat-soaked, sold-out show at London’s Sebright Arms – the very
venue where they played their first ever gig just 18 months ago, in
November 2023.
Written
across a whirlwind year of long-haul flights, tour buses, hotel rooms
and emotional highs and lows, the album captures the tension between
distance and belonging – the pull of community, the need for
connection, and the journey back to yourself. It’s a record that wears
its heart loudly and proudly: a 14-track burst of euphoric indie-pop
that smuggles big feelings – grief, love, hope, resilience – into
massive choruses and sun-streaked synths. From their viral debut “Home” to fan favorites “Keep It Up,” “Ripple” and “Starry Eyed,” Blue Sky Mentality is both a document of their meteoric rise and a rallying cry for openness, optimism and togetherness.
Speaking on the album, the band share: “Blue
Sky Mentality has been our motto since day one. Our band began as a
kind of light relief - a creative outlet to break from jobs that we
couldn’t stand and some tough personal times. Over the last year, we
ran with that feeling, writing our debut album on the road - in the
back of tour buses, hotel rooms, and scattered corners of the world.
That’s what Blue Sky Mentality means to us - finding light, friendship
and a sense of escapism wherever you are.”
American fans can next catch the band in Austin when they play both weekends of the Austin City Limits Festival(TICKETS), October 3 and 10th. They then head off on their North American Headline tour, beginning October 5 in Dallas, TX. Tickets for Good Neighbours’ North American Fall headline tour are on-sale now.

About Good Neighbours:
Optimism,
positivity, and connection are the key ingredients of Good Neighbours -
the duo of Scott Verrill and Oli Fox that have taken 2024 by the horns.
What started off as one simple SoundCloud demo link emailed around to a
few industry folk resulted in them having the most streamed debut
single globally from a new artist this year, with 'Home.’ This became
the first truly viral success of the year and has amassed more than 500
million global streams.
Good Neighbours music is bursting
with hope and joyous abandon and an amalgamation of their emotive indie
influences of yesteryear such as MGMT, Passion Pit and Bleachers. They
came together to create an indie-euphoric dreamscape of sound and
vision for a subdued generation. Live, they bring the inclusive party
to fans every time - racing through the London gig circuit and beyond.
In addition to selling out their first world tour, including a run of
headline shows in America, Oli and Scott have graced stages supporting
Benson Boone and Foster The People. Good Neighbours are wasting no time capturing the world's attention, so don’t miss their Adolescence Tour dates this Spring.
