British duo Good Neighbours have returned to kick off 2025 with their latest single, “Ripple” via Capitol Records. Speaking on the track, the duo reveals “Ripple was written about a close friend going through grief. They felt overwhelmed by the feeling and would sink into themselves. This song is about pulling your loved ones out of that deep place.”
The track is accompanied by the band’s first official music video, directed by Alex Lockett. The joyful and nostalgic video follows a pair of young boys during a milestone swimming lesson with friends. With the boys mimicking a young Oli and Scott, it captures a story of challenge, triumph and ultimately celebration, signifying the power of friendship above all. Overlaid by clips of the present day pair performing at the same swimming pool, the playful and carefree video is an ode to the feel-good essence that Good Neighbours have come to be known for.
Speaking on the video, Lockett says “The video explores the silent emotional battles men often face when submerged by grief or depression. The black brick and the difficulty young Oli faces reaching it, serve as a metaphor for the burdens we carry and the resistance we confront when bringing them to the surface. At its heart, it’s really a celebration of resilience and the importance of connection. It’s about overcoming life’s challenges together, with the right support from those around us. What I love most about the video is that young Oli’s struggle was entirely real for Saber, who played the role. What unfolds on screen as he finally pushes through is completely authentic.”
The band are already set to keep up the momentum in 2025, as they set off in support of Foster The People on their North American tour, visiting over twenty cities. The tour kicks off tomorrow night, January 25 in Seattle and includes dates in Portland, Phoenix, two nights at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Chicago, Toronto, Philadelphia, Boston, two nights at the Brooklyn Paramount in New York, Atlanta, New Orleans and more, before concluding on March 6 in Dallas. And on August 1, Good Neighbours will play the Hinterland festival in Saint Charles, Iowa, alongside artists including Clairo, Bleachers, Remi Wolf, Royel Otis and more.
