Album lore

Just Neighbors’ self-titled album, released in March 2016 on their own label, offers nine tracks that weave intricate math rock patterns with the emotional undercurrents of midwest emo and the expansive textures of post-rock. The band’s approach is predominantly instrumental, allowing the jazzy inflections and dynamic shifts to take center stage without vocal distraction. Tracks like "Steady" exemplify their precise interplay, balancing angular riffs with a steady pulse.The record’s modest yet dedicated following—around 35,000 listeners on Last.fm—attests to its quiet resonance within the underground circuit. The compositions unfold with a careful attention to rhythm and melody, each piece contributing to an understated canon that rewards attentive crate-digging and repeated spins alike. This album remains a subtle signal of the mid-2010s independent math rock and emo intersections.
