Hear Neighbor’s Anthemic Debut Studio Single ‘Take Me Alive’

Boston-based jam quartet Neighbor unveiled the new single “Take Me Alive.” The cut is the first taste of Neighbor, the band’s debut studio album, which arrives on June 2 via Ineffable Records.

Neighbor consists of 12 songs produced by the band — keyboardist Richard James, guitarist Lyle Brewer, drummer Dean Johnston and bassist Dan Kelly — with Matt Wayne and mixed by Paul Q Kolderie (The Pixies, Radiohead). The material was recorded during sessions held at Boston’s Dimension Sound and Ghost Hit Recording in Springfield, Massachusetts over a nine-month span.

The studio version of the live staple “Take Me Alive” marks Neighbor’s initial offering on such streaming platforms as Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. Neighbor debuted the opus “Take Me Alive” in Concord, New Hampshire on September 26, 2020. Thirty-five additional live versions followed with the latest coming aboard Jam Cruise 19 on February 6, 2023.
