In a few short years, Dan Mangan has gone from globetrotting folk crooner to one of music’s most promising storytellers. His critically-acclaimed sophomore album Nice, Nice Very Nice, earned him a Polaris Music Prize shortlist, a spot at Glastonbury two years running, sold out shows the world over and accolades galore. Dan now returns with Oh Fortune, following yesterday's offering of the album's title track for download through his loyal fanbase as a thanks for the continued support.
“The band and I have felt such incredible support over the last few years and we realize all too well that some folks have gone over and above in the word-of-mouth spreading," Dan explains. "Giving those people an advanced peek at the new album seems but a small token of our appreciation.”
Produced by Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Cave Singers) and now flanked with a stellar supporting cast, Dan’s rich and textured Arts & Crafts debut finds him further exploring folk music’s boundaries. With ambitious arrangements made on a ever-widening canvas yet coupled with the knowledge of when to lay the brush down and infused with the signature wit and wisdom that have made Dan such a fan favourite wherever he goes, Oh Fortune makes good on the promise of every song he has ever sung.
To be sure, this release marks the arrival of a new voice, with world class charm and a universal appeal. Oh fortune, indeed.
