Dan Mangan makes nice
Dan Mangan
Album: Nice, Nice, Very Nice
Label: File Under: Music
Rating: *** 1/2
Vancouver’s Dan Mangan has quietly been building a name for himself since releasing his debut in 2007, but expect the chatter to increase in volume with this new release. If you like The Weakerthans or early Hawskley Workman, you’ll love this record. It’s all well crafted singer-songwriter stuff with impressive range. Mangan is able to move from the incredibly infectious sing-a-long Robots to the sensitive John K. Samson-ish The Indie Queens are Waiting with ease. If anything, he sounds a little too much like some of his influences but with such strong material, no one will care.
