The Neighbourhood

Formation and I Love You. (2011–2013)

The band members chose the British spelling of 'neighbourhood' on the advice of their manager, in order to distinguish themselves from a band already using the American spelling.

In early 2012, The Neighbourhood came together to release "Female Robbery" and "Sweater Weather". In May 2012, the band unveiled a self-released free extended play (EP) titled I'm Sorry.... The debut EP was produced by Justyn Pilbrow. In December 2012, The Neighbourhood released their second EP, entitled Thank You. It includes the songs "Let It Go" and "A Little Death".

I Love You. was released on April 23, 2013 and debuted at number 39 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. On June 27, 2013, they performed their lead single "Sweater Weather" on Jimmy Kimmel Live. "Sweater Weather" topped the charts in early June 2013, reaching number one on Billboard's alternative chart and breaking the top ten on Billboard Heatseekers chart. Rolling Stone debuted the world premiere of I Love You. on April 16, describing the album as "moody" and "atmospheric".

The video for the first official single from I Love You., "Sweater Weather", was released on March 5, 2013. The band is known for their black-and-white imagery, as seen throughout their music, artwork, and videos.

The Love Collection comprised the three songs "West Coast", "No Grey", and "Sting". They were each released on 7" vinyls.
