Hailing from London and rooted in New York’s underground scene, he played guitar with soulful folk-blues grit, toured with Janka Nabay, contributed to bands like Gang Gang Dance, and released solo work under D.S. — most recently with Animal Collective’s Geologist. Drag City Records hailed him as a profound, effervescent thinker whose music evoked history and landscapes. Tributes poured in from Cass McCombs, Lizzi Bougatsos, and Alexis Taylor, calling him a genius and a kind soul. A memorial is set for tonight at Union Pool — a place he knew well — to honor a musician whose voice and spirit will be deeply missed.
