Released: August 11th, 2009Funny without being overtly comic and energetic without being brazen, Dan Mangan's Nice, Nice, Very Nice is an album for everyone. It begins with the driving (no pun intended) "Road Regrets" where Mangan immediately lays out his very slam-inspired style of lyrics and pacing. This song is followed by "Robots" which has a sing-a-long at the end that just screams "play me at the end of your show for a most epic time!"
Most of the time Mangan dabbles in the lighthearted, while punching in little moments of biting commentary (See: "Some People"), but when he chooses go for the heart he hits the target, especially on the heart-swelling "Basket". Dan Mangan is on course to becoming one of Canada's purest and most effective songwriters.
