Indie pop/folk Canadian Dan Mangan is back with his sophomore release Nice, Nice, Very Nice (taken from a Kurt Vonnegut poem) and his unique perspective on the world. Nice, Nice, Very Nice has a melancholy bent featuring gorgeous songs, laments and a few toe-tappers, showcasing guitars, pianos and violins that are subtly enhanced by guest performers: Justin Rutledge, Veda Hille, Mark Berube and members of Elliott Brood, Said the Whale, Mother Mother, Major Maker and Small Sins. Mangan’s talent speaks for itself with thoughtful lyrics, imaginative compositions and tranquil, distinctive vocals.
