The New York collective Phantom Posse has been putting out music for the better part of the last decade, and they’re kicking off 2020 with a new album called Forever Underground. The project revolves around producer Eric Littmann, who in the past year has worked on great albums with Emily Yacina and Yohuna. Both of those artists appear on Forever Underground, alongside a cast of collaborators that also includes Makonnen, Vagabon’s Laetitia Tamko, GABI, Nadine’s Nadia Hulett, Foxes In Fiction’s Warren Hildebrand, and more. The first single Littmann is sharing from the album is “It’s All You,” which features contributions from Tamko, GABI, and Pavo Pavo’s Oliver Hill.

“Laetitia and I had been demoing out some songs for the self-titled Vagabon record on a weekly basis in my tiny bedroom studio in NYC and sometimes to get the ball rolling I’d throw some Phantom Posse instrumentals her way,” Littmann said in a statement. “Those sessions led to this song and also to what eventually became ‘Water Me Down’ on her record. Later Oliver Hill (Pavo Pavo / Dustrider) added this big cinematic string arrangement to the end and Gabrielle Herbst (GABI) contributed vocals to the middle section in between working on operas.”
