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. “ 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. “ The working class are injured, struggling to pay rent and struggling to put food on the table,” he says.

Urango was born with spina bifida and scoliosis in Oxnard, California: a town in which almost 30,000 are estimated to live in poverty. “ Because standing together is our best chance at fighting this shit show.” The shit show in question is a broken, brutal system the acclaimed multi-instrumentalist has witnessed up-close. “ I want my music to bring people together,” says the Californian pop innovator, best known as Cola Boyy.
