GOOD NEIGHBOURS RELEASE DEBUT SINGLE “HOME”
“Another massive thing happening out of London…You cannot go wrong with a whistle hook.
I love that!” Zane Lowe (Apple Music)
“It has an overwhelming warmth to it… it just makes sense. That won’t be the last you’ll hear from them”

This is the debut single from the East London based duo Good Neighbours. ‘Home’ is a
soaring euphoric future pop masterpiece that sounds like MGMT jamming with Passion Pit and is
an undeniable anthem that caught fire instantly and is about to explode.
In just two short weeks it’s graduated from viral buzz to chart success: from 32 million
combined streams and counting, it’s climbing the UK singles chart daily (it entered at #40 on
Friday) and already #33 on the Spotify UK and US charts.
‘Home’ promises a vibrant start for duo Scott Verrill and Oli Fox, who sold out The Sebright
Arms in November ’23 off the back of one SoundCloud demo and heaps of optimsm. Last week,
they packed out Hackney’s The Victoria for their second ever headline, and the next day, sold
out London’s Lexington in under an hour.
Having already locked in support from BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders and Beats Radio
tastemaker Zane Lowe, who premiered the song on his World First spotlight slot, it certainly
won’t be long before the word spreads further. With bigger shows already planned and more
music imminent, it’s safe to say this one has legs.

Good Neighbours is a band born out of small towns and spare time. Scott and Oli have neighbouring studios at their building in East London, and first began making music for the project together out of the desire to make something positive and unpolished in a scene where most music felt quite mellow and intimate. Over the course of 2023, they consistently began making music for the love of making music, and only midway through the year decided to create the band to release under. With an urge to rekindle the early 2000’s scene of Passion Pit / MGMT etc, Good Neighbours nod to classic songwriting and raucous production, inspired by A24, friendship and a cinematic approach to music.
Make sure to stay nearby, as there will be lots more to come from Good Neighbours.
