Product Description
Product Description
Titled in reference to a kurt vonnegut poem, dan mangan's nice, nice, very nice was recorded in toronto in fall 2008 under the creative eye of producer john critchley (elliott brood, 13 engines, leather uppers). Dropping in to add their talents were such hero canadian artists as justin rutledge, veda hille, mark berube, hannah georgas and members of elliott brood, said the whale, the hidden cameras, major maker and small sins. Dan mangan weaves unique lyrical phrases that simply and subtly unfurl complicated ideas. He delivers them with his signature graveled vocals and understated humour. What mangan has to offer isn't overly precious or delicate. He simply writes songs that evoke the wonder and the absurdity in what we do.

The first Dan Mangan tune I heard was Robots (2nd track on this album), a tune I couldn't get out of my head and deserved repeat listening, much like this album. After seeing him live at Glastonbury I bought this CD and have not been disappointed. Full of beautiful melodies, delicate arrangements and wonderful lyrics, this is one of the best original albums I've heard all year. There isn't a single bad track on it, and I'm defiantly going to check out his other stuff. Buy this album.

The entire album is fantastic. I was just introduced to Dan Mangan last week. I heard 'Robots'. a fine tune. I listened to a couple others, and fell in love. 'Sold', 'The Indie Queens are Waiting', 'You Silly Git', all are just exceptional. from start to finish, it's a really wonderful album.

If you like a good beat and meaningful words in songs, this is an awesome buy. Give it a try and believe me, you won't be disappointed.

So disappointed
I know there are fans out there who adore Da. I saw him at English Bay in Vancouver this summer and thought how cool. Got home and bought a couple of CDs. But how disappointing. Read more
