New Music | Dan Mangan - We Want To Be Pleasantly Surprised, Not Expectedly Let Down

[I]t makes me very happy to hear that Canadian troubadour Dan Mangan is releasing a little bit of new music. Mangan, who won three Western Canadian Music Awards for “Songwriter of the Year”, “Rock Album of the Year” and “Independent Album of the Year”, bringing his total to six Western Canadian Music Awards, is releasing a new single with a really long name, “We Want To Be Pleasantly Surprised, Not Expectedly Let Down.”

Check out the single above, and preorder the 7″ here, and if you are lucky enough to be in one of the cities below (all Canada), he’s touring with the Rural Albert Advantage (holy shit).
