Delusions of Adequacy

...praise for Bango for producing "some of the best and most original pop music that almost no one has ever heard" initially appeared as a hyperbole to me, but The Sweet of Songs of Decay proves to make the statement startlingly accurate...
Obscure Sound.

Sure to end up on this writer's short list of '08 pop "must-haves," …a pop album for the ages.

one of the best records released this year and this is no small praise…(The Sweet Songs of Decay is)perhaps the ultimate bittersweet album.
A Cloud of Starlings


why the heck isn't this guy a star…

"I Saw the Size of the World" is the best song about a worm that I've heard since Guided By Voices' "Wormhole"….Excellent release"
The Chickenfish Speaks


Bango and The Magic Fingers wore actual blazers.
Could it be they were tipping their caps to a time when musicians dressed for the show? Perhaps, more optimistically, they are a sign of the future.
