There's liberation on the dance floor in the songs of Matthew Urango - glimpses of revolution that glimmer beneath the disco ball. "I want my music to bring people together," says the Californian pop innovator, best known as Cola Boyy. "Because standing together is our best chance at fighting this shit show." The shit show in question is a broken system the acclaimed multi-instrumentalist has witnessed up-close. Urango was born with spina bifida and scoliosis in Oxnard, California: a town in which almost 30,000 are estimated to live in poverty. Prosthetic Boombox, his eagerly awaited debut album, might at first glance seem a joyous confetti-burst of pop eclecticism, engineered to sound like "scanning between stations on a car radio, landing on all these different sounds and styles" as Urango puts it. Dig deeper, though, and you'll discover a simmering sense of rebellion. "The working class are injured, struggling to pay rent and struggling to put food on the table," he says. "I want to represent that." Prosthetic Boombox achieves that goal in a thrilling flurry of inventive indie, funk and soul: take Urango's car radio analogy, place it in a time-travelling Delorean with Prince in the passenger seat, and you're half-way there. Look no closer than Prosthetic Boombox's euphoric opener, the Avalanches-assisted 'Don't Forget Your Neighborhood.' The track - which Urango says mixes "the Beach Boys, French disco, house keys and ragtime piano, kinda like the Cheers soundtrack!" - ends with lyrics urging listeners to "fight for your town with your fist closed, strike it and make it more than just a memory." It's a reminder that the working classes need to "turn our fists against our oppressors instead of each other," he explains. Urango saves his most introspective moment for the album's starry closer. 'Kid Born In Space', a cosmic collaboration with MGMT frontman Andrew VanWyngarden, sees the artist reflect on what he once had to overcome as a disabled person of colour. Prosthetic Boombox, on this subject, is more than an album title - it's a statement of intent.
