   About Jo Mango

Jo Mango - My Lung

The single 'My Lung' is still on sale. Its has two beautiful b-sides with it as well: Evaporated by Ben Folds, which Jo recorded live on KCRW with Nic Harcourt and a wonderful and very rare demo, Another Feather.

My Lung: Avaliable on iTunes

“Jo Mango is uniquely gifted, as a musician and as a performer. She writes the most beautiful songs and her sense of fun in life has made this last year that I have been on the road with her a luminous one. Kind, original, musical and clever, I know Jo will go far.“ Vashti Bunyan

It’s safe to say Scottish multi-instrumentalist and singer songwriter Jo Mango has had an incredible few years. Since 2007 she has brought her unique collection of instruments and sounds to collaborations with luminaries such as Vashti Bunyan, David Byrne and Devendra Banhart in venues from the Carnegie Hall in New York to a greenhouse in Glasgow. She has co-written beautiful songs and collaborated on tours and performances with Lambchop guitarist William Tyler (aka Paper Hats), Vetiver, Adem, Idlewild’s Roddy Woomble and Richmond Fontaine to name but a few.

Her rising acclaim has rested on an unusual mix of talented multi-instrumentalism, haunting childlike vocals, exceptional lyricism and a talent for mashing unique collections of accompanying sounds – from African finger pianos to electronic autoharps mixed with traditional acoustic guitar and harmonium. Her debut album Paperclips and Sand was released in 2006 on her own label - Lo-Five Records. That year she and her band played shows across the globe beginning with a live session on USA tastemaker Nic Harcourt’s KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic radio program, continuing with concerts in LA, New York, Australia, a sell-out show in Tokyo followed by numerous appearances at South By South West in Austin, Texas. She appeared on MTV Australia and Scottish Television in session on BBC2’s Rapal as well as performing live on BBC Radio 2 (as Good Morning Sunday’s featured artist), the BBC World Service and BBC Radio Scotland..

On returning home in 2007, Jo’s first single My Lung was voted by BBC Radio 2 listeners as Single of the Week on the Radcliffe and Maconie show. Gigs followed into 2008 and tours with Vashti Bunyan in whose band Jo is a mainstay.

Since then, Jo has been working on what is to be a really stunning second album (to be finished in late 2009). Producing this nu-folk gem is Adem Ilhan (Fridge and Adem)

And what was that electronic box thing you were playing? Think you say on that myspace track it's a Kalimba, but it didn't look like one. Sounded very good.

The songs of this quartet are a torrent of emotions and rates/rhythms powerful. Not hesitating to take refuge in strange and harmonious sounds which plunge the listener in a completely atmospheric universe. Influenced by groups like Pink Floy, Radiohead, Archive, MUSE, led Zeppelin…, it is on scene that the group reveals all its creativity and its alchemy; between slow pieces and others faster they make us share an Ambient Rock'n'roll as of more shivering. Without speaking about the song leader pure and unforeseeable.
