Jo Mango started out as
a Glaswegian folktronica quartet, only for the moniker to be
appropriated by the lead singer and primary songwriter in the group,
whose output has been sporadic to put it mildly. Transformuration
is the 3rd release from the multi-instrumentalist, many
moons since her debut recording, perhaps taking a leaf out of her
occasional collaborator Vashti Bunyan’s book that less is most
definitely more. Throw in further meetings of minds with well-known
experimentalists Devendra Banhart and David Byrne and it starts to
paint a picture of someone not afraid to take her time getting things
right on her own terms….either that or she likes to spend time
between albums taking trips to Vega.
