Hot new releases this week are from L.A. band Neighbourhood, who said of their new single, "Sometimes your youth - some people have it taken away from them earlier and some people get to wait a little longer before you have to grow up, but either way the world kind of hits you," and music from a project called EL VY (prounounced El Vie not El Vee), which is a collaboration between Nationals lead singer Matt Berninger and Brent Knopf, who's been a part of Portland bands Menomena and Ramona Falls.
