"Nice, nice, very nice / So many different people / In the same device" dichtete einst Kurt Vonnegut, den Blick gerichtet auf die menschliche Vielfalt. Aus der gleichen Perspektive singt auch Dan Mangan aus Vancouver. Mit viel Herz, Ehrlichkeit und einem Augenzwinkern, das immer zu ihm selbst zurück führt. Zum Beispiel in "You Silly Git", wo er sich schmunzelnd im Stereotyp des Songwriters karikiert: " I can hear the eyebrows raise when I start singing / 'Cause the songs I sing are [...]
Saturday, May 28 th 3:30 – 4:15 Yeti Stage A gem from Vancouver's treasure chest of independent musical talents, Dan Mangan unites soothing vocals with timely percussion and mind-revving lyrics that leave listeners infectiously intrigued, set on a path of musical reflection after first listen of Nice, Nice, Very Nice. Following the 2009 release of his sophomore album Mangan is hitting the road, travelling across Europe and North America in a festival-heavy summer tour beginning in George, Washington at the Sasquatch Festival. Mangan's relentless touring schedule and well-developed online presence pose the Vancouver [...]

Here is part four of a ten part on reviewing the 2010 Polaris Music Prize shortlist nominees. This time it is Dan Mangan 's Nice, Nice, Very Nice. ( Original review of the album .) Its one of those sophomore albums you didn't know would be out so soon. I went to the local music shop and noticed this album cover of a sillouette of the Queen and I didn't know it was singer/songwriter Dan Mangan . His second album is called Nice, Nice, Very Nice which [...]
"There's something to be said for running from pigeonholes," says Vancouver indie troubadour Dan Mangan , an observation that sets the stage, well... nicely... for his excellent, much-buzzed and genre-blurring sophomore album Nice, Nice, Very Nice (August 10, Arts and Crafts). It's been a while since we've heard an album quite this delightfully ramshackle, a sprawling, loosely tied mass of brilliant songwriting that fires like buckshot but hits with pinpoint accuracy. Mangan, winner of the '09 XM Verge Award for Artist of the Year, is also in possession of one of our best distinctive voices -- literally [...]
Filed under: News , Canada Canuck indie It Boy Dan Mangan 's star continues to rise with news that the Vancouver singer-songwriter's sophomore album, 'Nice, Nice, Very Nice,' will be released in the US via the Arts & Crafts label on Aug 10. Mangan, who's signed to the management roster of the label (home to Broken Social Scene and Feist , among others), tells Spinner his association with the acclaimed indie imprint came about rather fortuitously. "There was a [...]
If you've ever sat down and attempted to pen a song, you're aware that it is significantly more challenging than Dan Mangan would have you believe. Finding a balance between telling a story, engaging a listener, evoking thought and emotion, and presenting it all in a way more eloquent than a slap to the face is truly an art. Every song I've heard from Dan Mangan's 2009 sophomore full-length release "Nice, Nice, Very Nice" seems to create it's own universe that you can explore while listening to; I believe that is me trying to say his songs have [...]

Dan Mangan's sophomore release, Nice, Nice, Very Nice wins the Most Pleasant Surprise Of 2009 Award at HearYa. I hadn't heard of this Canadian songwriter prior to the mailman delivering the album and it's been stuck in my head for weeks. While you may be thinking verses of a Cracker song, saying to yourself "The world needs another folk singer like I need a hole in my head," please stop yourself. Dan Mangan proves to be more than a singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar. He's a masterful lyricist that enlists a broad spectrum of instrumentation [...]
In addition to his show at The Rivoli tonight, Dan Mangan will be playing a FREE in-store at Criminal Records today at 6pm!

Dan Mangan It's been almost four years since Vancouver folk troubadour Dan Mangan released the nuanced and brilliant, Postcards and Dreaming , so the news of his brand new full length album was greeted with much excitement around Bumpershine HQ. Nice, Nice, Very Nice , hit the shelves in Canada on August 11 and I'm pleased to say, it was well worth the wait. On NNVN , Dan once again shows he can write songs with clever [...]
