WHAT IT IS: Buzzy U.K. duo Good Neighbours is a band born out of small towns and spare time. Over the course of 2023, Scott Verrill and Oli Fox began to create music with an urge to rekindle the early-2000s excitement of bands like Passion Pit and MGMT. Good Neighbours are purveyors of classic songwriting and raucous production, inspired by A24 films, friendship and a cinematic approach to music.
