RSVP: Holiday Party with DTS and FandangoNOW

Far more mournful than his solo debut from last year, the former Low member’s collaboration with the titular bluegrass band is drenched in sorrow, absence, longing, and dark devastation.

Despite bristling with Matthew Urango’s familiar cotton-candied disco, the late songwriter and activist’s sophomore album also opens the floodgates to everything else he seemed capable of.

The London-via-Singapore alt-pop songwriter continues to experiment on their fifth album, with the heaviest and weirdest moments also feeling the most authentic and energizing.
