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, Leather Uppers). 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 it's mellow at times, 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. Mangan weaves unique lyrical phrases that simply and subtly unfurl complicated ideas. He delivers them with his signature gravelled vocals and understated humour. He doesn't 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.
