"Fake Pods" follows the emerging group's debut album, Television, released earlier this year. Television encompasses hip-hop, R&B, jazz, and rock and was created entirely in Vermont. The group upholds a DIY model, making their merchandise, graphics, videos and music in-house and will continue this system in collaboration with the new partnership. This week they will play Lollapalooza and continue the momentum at Made In America Festival, Rolling Loud New York and more. Stay tuned for more music from the group and check out what 99 Neighbors had to say about the new release below.
"With 'Fake Pods,' we wanted to make a fun and listenable song for the summer. We all enjoy listening to music with our friends and wanted to create a song others could do that with. We have a lot of new music to share and wanted to start off with 'Fake Pods' as our first single." - 99 Neighbors
