99 Neighbors

99 Neighbors have learned the virtues of patience. After a foundational creative burst and a fast rise, all seven members of the Burlington, Vermont, alt-rap collective can agree that the best things in life take time and focus. Yes, their foundation is still back there in the 24-hour art hub of an apartment where it all began, and their sound is every bit the hyperactive crush of rock, pop, R&B, and hip-hop heard on their debut, Television. But their new album grew out of a period of willful slowdown—a clarifying of perspective—and is built around the idea of moving forward.
