His decade of dedication to the sensibility of underground club culture has brought forth club classics interwoven with pop music hooks and subversive, tongue-in-cheek lyrics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter four years of what LSDXOXO, real name RJ Glasgow, calls a period of “healing and self-discovery,” he is consolidating his multiplicitous sound with one compelling masterstroke: the debut album \u003ci\u003eDogma\u003c\/i\u003e, released on his own imprint F.A.G. \u003ci\u003eDOGMA\u003c\/i\u003e marks a complete paradigmatic shift: it is a poetic and fantastical performance, a route for deep escapism through an expanded musical palette including piano and guitar, and a deeply personal confessional through a fresh approach to songcrafting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin \u003ci\u003eDOGMA\u003c\/i\u003e, RJ meditates on the interlinked qualities of fame, infamy, lust and submission, as he rediscovers a pure, unadulterated approach to music-making, all the while adopting a futurist approach to pop music appreciation. RJ’s unmistakable signatures—the smutty dancefloor caller, the maker of irresistible bangers, the latter-day electroclash and DnB nostalgist—take on even more shades and intricacies. Despite his widespread acclaim as a collaborator with and songwriter for other artists, RJ strips \u003ci\u003eDOGMA\u003c\/i\u003e down almost exclusively to himself, carving out intentional space as a chameleonic vocalist and performer. He breathes life into the album with private thoughts, external fears and a red thread through personal themes that crystallise the album’s narrative from front to back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album’s promo single “Bloodlust” offers angsty, intimate indie-tronica, and musings on the intoxicating nature of love and infatuation. The lead single “Ghost” reaches beyond RJ’s Philadelphia origins to find itself in the deep south, in a sultry fever dream of coquettish R\u0026amp;B featuring backing vocals from close collaborator Kelela. Elsewhere on the album futuristic love, pensive pop earworms, evocative vintage dance styles and sleazy club tracks intermingle. While the \u003ci\u003eDOGMA\u003c\/i\u003e era will eventually explore remixes and reworks, the album is RJ’s purest embrace of himself and his artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRJ first garnered attention as LSDXOXO in New York City with his on-the-pulse Soundcloud edits and then as part of the cult GHE20GOTH1K collective. His DJ sets and productions quickly earned him acclaim across globally-linked underground scenes. His decision to shift from sampled vocals to picking up the pen and microphone pushed his reach out to the stratosphere; his association with XL Recordings via the \u003ci\u003eDedicated 2 Disrespect\u003c\/i\u003e EP in 2021 was a turning point for the burgeoning superstar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis multiplicity of the LSDXOXO sound has led to enviable co-signs. These include being selected as the opening DJ for Beyoncé’s German \u003ci\u003eRenaissance\u003c\/i\u003e tour dates, remixing Lady Gaga, Pink Pantheress and Shygirl and producing five tracks for Kelela's highly acclaimed 2023 album for Warp Records, \u003ci\u003eRaven\u003c\/i\u003e. His fully-realised live show has also taken to the stage, serving fierce charisma to huge audiences at festivals including Primavera, Nuits Sonores and Rewire. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Because Music","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50380224397643,"sku":"2207205","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/LSDXOXO_-_DOGMA_d9ed16d8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726211170"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/lsdxoxo.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
