Dan Mangan has kind of come out of nowhere to be in the running for the Polaris Prize this year and has some major league buzz starting to build around his quirky, folky and solid songwriting. His album Nice, Nice, Very Nice (pictured above) comes out today on BSS label Arts & Crafts and I imagine you will probably be hearing a lot more of it in short time. To get your feet wet on this guy’s material, be sure to check out his Robots vs. Indie Queens EP, which you can currently download for the price of free at Amazon right here.
