Mango Sunrise by Food Pyramid
Following a split 7″ and a trilogy of defining cassettes, Food Pyramid emerges with their debut full-length LP, “Mango Sunrise”. A tireless Minneapolis trio, the three members (C. Farstak, C. Hontona and M. Weather) collaborate to materialize synthesized monoliths; ranging from percolating, ambient rivers to various weirdo strains of dancehall jams. “Mango Sunrise” is an eclectic and spanning look into their overall aesthetic headspace. It conjures movements of kosmische-propelled euphoria, deep-space house and even their style of affected future-dub. On tunes like “Orange Alert” and “Oh Mercy”, we find the trio drifting into druggy long-form dance grooves alongside rippling psych guitar and a bewildering saxophone. As much of a refined culmination as it is a hard step forward in their ever-evolving sonics, “Mango Sunrise” has arrived with all the majestic grandeur its title evokes.

Credits
This album was accidentally recorded entirely in mono because we did not know how to use Cubase LE properly and in our unmitigated enthusiasm never bothered to check the inputs. Nevertheless! A banger.
