Sango In The Comfort Of

Sango makes beats. At least, that’s how he sees it. The rest of us know the truth: the 26-year-old Seattle DJ/producer conducts symphonies. And not just in the way he conjures a singularly fluid sound out of all manner of ancient rhythms, worldly strains, and progressive notions—from heady jazz to heartfelt gospel, jittery club music to combustible baile funk, uncanny future-bass to mellow trap-soul. It’s more in the way he sends memories and emotions flitting through that shifting soundscape so that even when the songs are wordless, we feel his intent. Sango’s long-awaited second album, In the Comfort Of, aims to connect with the listener in a new way. Even the title is interactive, begging you to fill in the blank: In the comfort of... what? It’s the start of a journey enriched by our host’s history (both musical and personal), guided along by an array of boundary-pushing guests (Smino, James Vincent McMorrow, Dave B, Jesse Boykins III, more), and ultimately leading back to us: Where/how do we seek/give comfort? Oh, and it bumps too. 1. His Name 2. Life Whitout God Is Nothing 3. Mateo (feat. Romaro Franceswa & Dave B) 4. Speak 5. One More Thing 6. Dance For Blessings 7. Twogether (feat. Jesse Boykins III) 8.
