Praise for Roboteering EP (2009)
“If this is the quality of the forthcoming album then it will be immense.” -Americana UK
“It’s all great, just great. Hurry up with the rest of it, dude.” -Exclaim!
“Mangan’s distinctive voice, which is confident and weary beyond his years, sounds like it’s been aged in oak… Compelling, twisty and imaginative.” -The Georgia Straight
“Mangan’s next move is definitely going to be worth waiting for.” -London Tour Dates
“Feels so beautiful and personal that time ceases to exist.” -CHARTattack
Praise for Postcards and Daydreaming (2007)
"This folk singer may only be 23, but he sings with the soul of Woody Guthrie - if Woody Guthrie had listened to Godspeed (You Black Emperor)" - NME
"The deliciously downbeat Postcards and Daydreaming is a good sulky-day companion for anyone who has already invested in the collected works of Hayden or Crooked Fingers." -The Georgia Straight
"Reverential elegance... It's not easy to play slowly but Mangan's growly ruminations demand it." -The Province
"There is poetic power here." - Exclaim!
"In the end, the real appeal of this album is that even through a static speaker, it still seems as though Dan Mangan is singing only to you." -Youthink Magazine
”His gruff croon has enslaved my ears, it's just so horribly beautiful... Resistance is futile. There is no escape. Let this be a warning - once you're into this album, there is no getting out." (Rating: A) -Uptown
" * * * * * " -Halifax Daily News
"It is a mystery to me why Dan Mangan has not yet reached superstardom..." -The Ubyssey
“Patrick Watson plays the creepier Jeff Buckley to Dan Mangan's Damien Rice, but Watson can't touch Mangan's live ode to MySpace.” -The Austin Chronicle
"A knack for the kind of sad songs that could potentially drive you to drink." - Metro
"His voice opens up and loats around the room like the smells from my cup of coffee and really let's you have something to hold onto on those days where everything else seems lost." - Hero Hill
I was at my lovers house last night, making supper and listening through the album for the first time. It was perfect. Robots man. What a song. What a song. Love it!
Hey Mangan, Very cool 2 new tunes. Road Regrets is super hip. But still honest, inspired and unique. Really dig your voice in the more dramatic, higher register stuff. Cudos man!
Hey Dan. Been many a moon but as fortune has it i will be reviewing 'Nice...' for the August issue of Discorder. Looking forward to diving into this one, as your last album warmed me to no end. Oh, and Luke Meat suggests that you send a copy to CITR so they can play it on air. I guess i received the only copy. Lucky me.
That's crazy congrats on your nomination. I voted, but its gonna be some stiff competition against some ppl that just simply have more 'internet friends'.
Hey Dan, Luke here from Chasing Red Lights, wondering if you need an opening act for your gig here in Penticton on the 28th. We'd love to play. Let me know. Luke Chasing Red Lights
The band thing is different :) Road rage is awsome. Kinda phased out 20 seconds into sold, shut it off like half way through. Cant wait to get my hands on the new cd man. PS : i miss the dancing tiger
All is very well here, thank you. Summer in Scandinavia.. like rain in a desert, you know. Well, you should get here, there..s plenty of great venues, especially summertime. Live it up!
