Mangan’s debut album, Postcards & Daydreaming, features 12 self-penned songs, produced by Daniel Elmes at Dubvibe Productions and co-produced by Mangan and Simon Kelly. The first single is “Journal Of A Narcoleptic,” which has received some love at CBC Radio 3, but “So Much For Everyone” is the cut with almost 16,000 plays on his MySpace page. The mournful song runs just under seven minutes and is so slowly delivered, one anticipates each line. The rough-voiced folk singer-songwriter has toured the UK twice and the US. He will soon try and get a foothold on his own territory after his 2007 North By Northeast showcase in Toronto impressed Canadian booking agent Julien Paquin at Paquin Entertainment. Mangan will tour in Australia in early October then across Canada in late October and November. Postcards & Daydreaming isn’t his first recording. At 17, he released his first EP.
