Songs Similar to Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood
Released 2012 · Album: I Love You. · Indie · Chill
"Sweater Weather" is the breakout song from The Neighbourhood, a California band fronted by Jesse Rutherford. It first appeared on an EP in 2012 and was then included on their 2013 debut album, I Love You. The track moves at an unhurried mid-tempo, with chiming, reverb-soaked guitars, a heavy, hip-hop-leaning drum groove, and Rutherford's half-spoken verses rising into a breathy, high chorus. Its mix of cosy imagery and slightly gloomy atmosphere made it a long-running favourite on streaming and social video.
Songs that sound like "Sweater Weather" tend to blend indie rock guitars with R&B or hip-hop rhythms, keep the tempo relaxed, and wrap everything in a dark, moody haze. Listen for echoing clean guitar lines, low-key vocals that slip into falsetto, and lyrics that mix romance with a hint of melancholy. It connects to the 2010s alternative scene where indie bands borrowed from rap production, and to the cinematic, melancholic pop of artists who favour atmosphere over volume.

On our list, the closest matches are “Afraid” by The Neighbourhood, “505” by Arctic Monkeys and “Do I Wanna Know?” by Arctic Monkeys.
Who does Sweater Weather sound like?
"Sweater Weather" is often compared to Arctic Monkeys' AM-era songs, which also mix guitar rock with slow hip-hop grooves. Lana Del Rey is a frequent reference for its dreamy, cinematic gloom. Listeners also connect it to The 1975 for its glossy, melancholic indie-pop production, and to Cage the Elephant and Glass Animals, both of whom sit in the same 2010s alternative radio space.
Is Sweater Weather Indie?
Mostly, yes. It is usually filed as indie rock or alternative, and the guitar-led arrangement fits that label. But The Neighbourhood leaned heavily on hip-hop and R&B production, from the drum sound to the vocal phrasing, so it often appears on alternative-pop playlists too. It is less "indie" in the small-label sense, since it was a major-label release that became a mainstream hit.
How do you find similar songs to Sweater Weather?
Search for "dark indie" or "moody alternative" playlists, and look for 2010s bands that blended guitars with hip-hop beats. Following The Neighbourhood's own later albums is a good start, as are aesthetic-driven mixes built around autumn, night drives, or monochrome visuals. Focus on reverb-drenched guitars and breathy falsetto choruses. SongSimilar's list above ranks matches by listening data, so it reflects what fans of "Sweater Weather" actually stream alongside it.
