Background and composition

On September 27, 2017, a month before release, Slander announced Dilapidation Celebration, a collaborative extended play with Kayzo.[3][4] On September 29, the extended play's first single was released, titled Without You, featuring vocals by Dylan Matthew.[5] On October 27, the extended play was released along with its second single, "Holy", featuring vocals by Micah Martin.[6][7]

Reception and release

Drew Troxler of We Own The Nite NYC praised "Without You", writing, "Beginning with a slow and melodic-driven guitar riff that leads into deeply captivating that are sure to pull heartstrings. With an echoing build up that gravitates to a futuristic drop filled with electronic loops and sweet synths, “Without You” is a surefire crowd charmer."[8]

Scott Lombardo of EDMTunes generally liked Holy, stating "“Holy” is epic from start to finish, and its theatrical intro makes it the perfect track to kick off a set full of banging music. The vocals give it the feel of an alt-rock tune, but the subdued vocals eventually give way to an increasing tempo and intensity that explodes with energy."[9]
