PHONY PPL - "Why iii Love The Moon"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Brooklyn's own Phony Ppl come roaring back into the world with their lush new joint "Why iii Love The Moon" off the soon-to-drop Yesterday's Tomorrow LP. Serving as an ode to ole luna and unreciprocated affection, the fellas deliver a tender and truly stunning sonicbed built from raw Rhodes, layers of warm croons and drums that embody the tight claps and perfect swing of the one and only J Dilla. It's the first we've heard from the crew since they hit us with the cool-out groove of the summer in "Take A Chance," but it appears there's a whole lot more to look forward in the coming weeks. Yesterday's Tomorrow hits next Tuesday January 13th, so stay tuned for all the links, supporting sounds and sights. Listen to PHONY PPL's latest cut "Why iii Love The Moon" below. Hit their Soundcloud for more funk from the crew.
