After over three years in the making, Mango Safari released their debut EP, Momotaro in December, 2019. The EP consists of a hodge podge of songs written over a period of a few years and discusses themes such as relationships, anxiousness, and trying to escape from every day life through dreams.

Some thoughts on Momotaro

-Paul Keating

Momotaro by Mango Safari is an incredibly ambitious and diverse music experience taking the listener on a rollercoaster ride through the full range of human emotional experiences from the hopefulness of its opening track “We” to the lovesick despair of its final track “Auditorium 11.”  In between, “Circadian Rhythm” takes us on a synthy/dreamy journey pulsed by innovatively mic’ed drums;  “Sunspots” encourages us to float along with its chill beat and island guitars and “Green Light” invites us to not care for a moment…just chill for a while….in the tradition of Leary’s "turn on, tune in and drop out."

 

The diversity of Momotaro is a reflection of its creators wide and deep musical tastes.  I can't wait to hear what Mango Safari offers with its next release and beyond.
