█░█▒ On August 11 of 2009, Dan Mangan will release his ▒█░█
█░█▒ sophomore album, Nice, Nice, Very Nice. And itÆs ▒█░█
█░█▒ about time. After three and a half years of touring ▒█░█
█░█▒ his sleeper-hit debut, Postcards and Daydreaming, ▒█░█
█░█▒ Dan is ready and eager to unveil a collection of ▒█░█
█░█▒ lyrical ruminations that showcase his growth as a ▒█░█
█░█▒ songwriter. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Titled in reference to a Kurt Vonnegut poem, Nice, ▒█░█
█░█▒ Nice, Very Nice was recorded in Toronto in fall ▒█░█
█░█▒ 2008 under the creative eye of producer John ▒█░█
█░█▒ Critchley (Elliott Brood, 13 Engines, Holy Fuck, ▒█░█
█░█▒ Hidden Cameras). Dropping in to add their talents ▒█░█
█░█▒ were such hero Canadian artists as Justin Rutledge, ▒█░█
█░█▒ Veda Hille, Mark Berube and members of Elliott ▒█░█
█░█▒ Brood, Said The Whale, Mother Mother, Major Maker ▒█░█
█░█▒ and Small Sins. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ There is a raw rootsiness to Nice, Nice, Very Nice ▒█░█
█░█▒ that touches on aspects of indie-pop. There are a ▒█░█
█░█▒ number of toe-tappers amid his trademark ▒█░█
█░█▒ lamentations and, though itÆs mellow at times, what ▒█░█
█░█▒ Mangan has to offer isnÆt overly precious or ▒█░█
█░█▒ delicate. He simply writes songs that evoke the ▒█░█
█░█▒ wonder and the absurdity in what we do. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ In March of 2009, Mangan released Roboteering EP, a ▒█░█
█░█▒ short-length teaser to this summerÆs LP. The ▒█░█
█░█▒ reviews speak for themselves û anticipation for ▒█░█
█░█▒ Nice, Nice, Very Nice is running high from music ▒█░█
█░█▒ industrians, journalists, and fans alike. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Mangan has toured Canada, the UK, USA and Australia ▒█░█
█░█▒ numerous times. HeÆs played coffee shops to six ▒█░█
█░█▒ people and festival stages to a thousand. He has ▒█░█
█░█▒ showcased at Canadian Music Week, ▒█░█
█░█▒ South-By-South-West, North-By-North-East, The Great ▒█░█
█░█▒ Escape (UK), MusExpo (LA), Big Sound (AUS), Western ▒█░█
█░█▒ Canadian Music Awards, Transmission and COCA. ▒█░█
█░█▒ Whether alone or with his Vancouver-based band, Dan ▒█░█
█░█▒ continues to work all the time. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ DanÆs debut album has kept him on the move with ▒█░█
█░█▒ opportunities. Record deals in Canada (FUM) and ▒█░█
█░█▒ Australia (ABC/Warner) were accompanied by ▒█░█
█░█▒ invitations to showcase at festivals around the ▒█░█
█░█▒ world. BritainÆs NME magazine featured him as one ▒█░█
█░█▒ of CanadaÆs most promising acts. Back home, he has ▒█░█
█░█▒ become a darling of the CBC. Gaining respect amid ▒█░█
█░█▒ his peers, he has shared stages with Patrick ▒█░█
█░█▒ Watson, The Acorn, Elliott Brood, Said The Whale, ▒█░█
█░█▒ Ohbijou, Arkells, Hey Rosetta!, Mother Mother, and ▒█░█
█░█▒ has collaborated with spoken word artists such as ▒█░█
█░█▒ Ivan Coyote and the internationally renowned Shane ▒█░█
█░█▒ Koyczan. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Mangan weaves unique lyrical phrases that simply ▒█░█
█░█▒ and subtly unfurl complicated ideas. He delivers ▒█░█
█░█▒ them with his signature graveled vocals and ▒█░█
█░█▒ understated humour. He doesnÆt lean on ironic ▒█░█
█░█▒ instruments or gimmicks. Somehow, it all just ▒█░█
█░█▒ works. Dan stands up and people get quiet. They ▒█░█
█░█▒ listen. More and more people all the time. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ ----- ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Praise for Nice, Nice, Very Nice: ▒█░█
█░█▒ "...Knocks you flat on your ass... Mangan's career ▒█░█
█░█▒ is clearly on the rise. Hop on board and enjoy the ▒█░█
█░█▒ ride." -Exclaim! ▒█░█
█░█▒ "From his unusual and razor-sharp phrasing to the ▒█░█
█░█▒ sage poetry in his everyday-life observations, he's ▒█░█
█░█▒ in the ranks of geniuses such as Greg Brown, Nick ▒█░█
█░█▒ Drake or Badly Drawn Boy." -The Province ▒█░█
█░█▒ "He's an observer in the sense you'd want to join ▒█░█
█░█▒ him on a patio for a drink just to see the city ▒█░█
█░█▒ through his eyes for an afternoon. Until then, ▒█░█
█░█▒ Nice, Nice, Very Nice effectively lets you pretend ▒█░█
█░█▒ for just over 40 mesmerizing minutes." -CHARTattack ▒█░█
█░█▒ "With some of his strongest work to date and an ▒█░█
█░█▒ already large fan-base, Nice, Nice, Very Nice could ▒█░█
█░█▒ very well be the album that solidifies Mangan as ▒█░█
█░█▒ the standout artist he is." -Discorder ▒█░█
█░█▒ "It's hard to believe that this new collection of ▒█░█
█░█▒ stellar songs won't help him leave each tour stop ▒█░█
█░█▒ with countless new fans in his corner." -Herohill ▒█░█
█░█▒ "Ultimately, it's that ability to write lyrics that ▒█░█
█░█▒ beg for some consideration of their meanings" -Vue ▒█░█
█░█▒ Weekly ▒█░█
█░█▒ "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." -Metro ▒█░█
█░█▒ "Listeners wouldn't expect the cheeky content to ▒█░█
█░█▒ sail through waves of dynamic choral balladeering ▒█░█
█░█▒ and colourful instrumentation, but Mangan doesn't ▒█░█
█░█▒ only pull it off, he makes it soar. " -SoundProof ▒█░█
