During the band’s worldwide tour, they unveiled new single “Honest,” part of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (out April 22). You can listen to the track HERE and watch the accompanying lyric video HERE. The film’s epic score was composed by Oscar®- and Grammy-winning composer Hans Zimmer and The Magnificent Six.

The Neighbourhood’s new project #000000 & #FFFFFF will be out later this year. Vocalist Jesse Rutherford says about the album, “”#000000 & #FFFFFF is a diary of songs that are inspired by our thoughts while on the road. It exposes our anxiety, rejoices in our achievement and expresses our ability to create whatever the fuck we want. It’s our freedom to explore popular music as we know it. It’s not us as a band… it’s us as a sound.”

Three tracks are available now, listen at Live Mixtapes.

The Neighbourhood broke out with hit singles “Sweater Weather” and “Afraid” from their debut album I Love You. “Sweater Weather,” which Billboard described as “deeply compelling,” was recently certified double platinum by the RIAA for sales in excess of 2 Million units and had one of the longest runs on the 2013 radio charts. The song was also praised by Rolling Stone, who noted “Layering hasn’t sounded this cool since ‘The Sweater Song.’” Follow up single “Afraid,” praised by Billboard for its “edgy, subtle hooks,” is seeing similar success, currently top 5 at Alternative Radio.

In addition to the upcoming live dates, Beck recently performed stunning turns on Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Ellen Degeneres Show, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. On April 27, Beck made his return to the venerable Austin City Limits series, taping a performance to air at a later date.

Aside from being the first chance to hear the songs of Morning Phase in the flesh, Beck’s upcoming dates are not to be missed–a glance at the reviews of his most recent handful of dates from summer 2013 shows easily puts them among the most enthusiastic raves of his–or anyone’s–career:

“Electrifying… another example of a Beck show that was so good, so special, that if you missed it, you simply missed it. It probably won’t go down like that again.”–The Boston Globe

“It seemed downright perverse that a show this good only received two performances – the band had played Boston a couple of nights earlier – but then again, Beck has made a specialty, and a great success, of defying expectations and playing by his own rules.”–The Hollywood Reporter

“more like a 20 year retrospective on one of the most important artists of our generation rather than just a typical concert… As soon as the first few notes of ‘Devil’s Haircut’ hummed through the speakers, it was as if someone fired a gun in the air. Everyone’s attention was drawn to the stage and it pretty much stayed there for the next two hours.”–The Village Voice

“Defying music-business logic is one of the Californian’s areas of expertise, but it’s also the reason he commands such a devout following, even after more than two decades… and boy, has he covered a lot of ground up to now.”–The New York Post
