Certainly not our usual pop submission! Gabriel Byrd’s ‘Under a Mango Tree’ is a slice of fresh air and musical prowess, delivered with genuine flair and a mesmerizing instrumental outlook. Bathing in folk territories, Byrd makes ample use of guitars and flutes, composing an intense, modulating piece that’s never dull or self-serving, instead offering an engaging and heart-shaking soundtrack for any keen listener out there.
An acute musical performer, composer and producer, London-based Gabriel Byrd is also a talented performer, taking care of recording “acoustic and resonator guitars, mandolin, and flutes” all by himself. The result is impressive and very eclectic, making for a record that might find its core audience in all guitar lovers worldwide – but that’s truly aimed at a wider audience.
Mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, ‘Under a Mango Tree’ is the leftfield and quirky record you were waiting for – the perfect musical counterpoint for broadening your artistic horizon.
