Agung Mango - In Belly We Trust - Vinyl LP

Impressed are proud to press the bold and brilliant debut LP from Melbourne based rapper, Agung Mango. 

As the next official phase of his fascination with sonic experimentation, IN BELLY WE TRUST is Agung Mango threading together a defined sense of originality and versatility with the philosophy of the brain-gut connection – the enteric nervous system.

An album of navigating this realisation, IN BELLY WE TRUST is a testament to patience and maturity, and how it’s reached by taking detailed notes from his environment, the people that surround him and his own dependency. The record draws inspiration from experimental rap, punk, jazz, alternative R&B and his rich Indonesian and Italian heritage.

Speaking to IN BELLY WE TRUST’s release, Agung Mango shares, “This album is a reflection of a pivotal moment in my life where I learned to trust myself and embrace authenticity. I was going through a lot during that time and music seemed to be the only release that was helping me. It’s a raw expression of my journey in the last year and a bit.”

"The Melbourne artist belongs to new wave of psychedelic Australian hip-hop – and his new album excavates his cultural lineage in profound, explosive ways. “ - Nick Buckley, The Guardian
