An emerging name in the indietronica scene, Evan Lo, better known as Flawed Mangoes, has already demonstrated his vast production capabilities with a meager, 5-song discography. A typical song of his contains vocals from a featured artist to fill the verse, which is followed by a liberation of the track from tension with a harmonious drop filled with vocal chops, a plethora of ambient synths, and raging drums. Evan makes these intricate drops look easy and digestible yet mind-blowing, and this might just be the key to his breakout following; the artist already garners over 137,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. His high-flying single "I Am No Fun,” released in early May, has received over 1 million plays, his typical song structure ditched for one suited towards R&B, his indie appeal and masterful sound design, however, kept in tow. Evan enjoyed working on music in random places in New York City, but with the pandemic in full swing for much of his professional career, he's been adapting in an interesting way.
