The Neighbourhood Watch’s story-driven blend of folk and indie rock clearly touched a nerve when they released their album, Community Protected (2017). Without any sort of label or industry support, the album racked up 10 million+ streams. Their follow-up albums Goodbye Childhood (2019) and Lost in Bloom (2021) received strong recognition, with features in the Toronto Star, blogTO, Exclaim!, and Indie88. The Neighbourhood Watch have already proved that this was no beginner’s luck – now with their upcoming fourth full-length release, this Toronto band is more than ready to take the international stage.
“Patient Love” is a pop-folk, stomp and holler, kind of song. It’s about the idea that you shouldn’t lose faith that love is right around the corner. Sometimes, you just have to let go and it will find you.
I think the decision to lead with “Patient Love” was about time and theme. We’ve worked on this song for years, and it has been really difficult to know when we should finally just say that it was done. Making “Patient Love” was all about taking our time, not rushing, attempting to avoid frustration, and being patient with our process. In a lot of ways, I think that theme comes out in the song. Given that it’ll also be the first song we release since our last album, it’s also an ode to the people patiently waiting for new music. – vocalist/guitarist Tristan Surman
