Cola Boyy announces debut album with The Avalanches collaboration "Don't Forget Your Neighborhood"
Cola Boyy has announced his debut album Prosthetic Boombox, alongside revealing The Avalanches collaboration "Don't Forget Your Neighborhood" as the lead single.
"Don't Forget Your Neighborhood" lands after last month's "Kid Born in Space" single with MGMT's Andrew VanWyngarden, and is teamed with a David Numwami-directed video featuring The Avalanches, Sofie Royer and John Carroll Kirby.
Cola Boyy says of the song, "This is one of my favorite jams on the record. I wanted a mix of the Beach Boys, French disco, house keys and a hint of the Cheers soundtrack for good measure! It's a message to everyone: don't get lost in the petty capitalist dream that has us abandon the people & places that shaped us. I wouldn't be who I am today without the masses of Oxnard, and no flashing lights can outweigh that."
Robbie Chater of The Avalanches adds, "What a tune! One of the coolest and most inspiring tracks we have ever worked on with such a heartfelt message."
Prosthetic Boombox was written across the space of six years between the US and Paris.
Matthew Urango, aka Cola Boyy, says of the album title, "I have a prosthetic leg ya know, and at the time I came up with the title, it was about not being embarrassed or shy about it anymore. That allowed me to look at the bigger picture instead of just what I was going through as an individual."
