Neighbors and Strangers is Kingsley Flood’s fourth full-length album, and its first since Another Other in 2016. Some thoughts from singer/songwriter Naseem Khuri:

“On this album, I felt I needed to tell the stories of people on both sides of a border. Being the son of immigrants, all I can think about these days is how we view others, and what ‘we’ even means. So here are stories of ‘others’ acting on their patriotism, locals acting on their fears, and the thin line between neighbors and strangers.”

Neighbors and Strangers was produced by Benny Grotto and recorded at Mad Oak Studios and in various living rooms and bedrooms up and down the East Coast.

Featured tracks:

- Find Me Out: inspired by the laborers waiting for work outside a Washington, DC convenience store
- Still So Still: written by the quiet ocean in Maine
- Carry On Fine: the band’s attempt at a T Rex song
