It's a release that stays true to the Barnhus discography, beautifully intricate but still fit for a dancefloor. It's positioned beautifully as a release that accomodates for the chin strokers as much as it does for the dancefloor faithful Undeniable grooves, dynamic arrangements and some very resourceful sample flipping indeed can be found aplenty across the four tracks on Mango Boy. The producer, real name Magnus Felix Tryggvason, commented:

I don’t have so much to say for the promotional text, would be nice if it didn't say too much about me being Icelandic and volcanoes and stuff :D

I started reading Alfons Åberg to my son recently. I've always been fascinated by Alfons’s dad, a single father doing his best to raise a kid. Apparently, he is only 36 in the books, looks a lot older imo. I’m turning 36 in 2024, not that the text has to mention that but it is interesting.
