Dan Mangan - Natural Light

• Available May 16th, 2025.
• Ship orders including this title will be held back.

There is something fitting in Mangan hitting this high watermark at this stage of his life and career. You can trace the chapters of his story in the fabric of Natural Light. Over two decades, Mangan has managed an enviably strong creative ethic, and his integrity as both a singer and songwriter has only strengthened with age. The big picture cohesiveness of Natural Light harkens to a pre-streaming, album-focused sensibility. Songs bleed together through focused transitions and overlapping interludes. Mangan’s lyrics act as gondolier for the journey, reassuring the listener that it’s cool to care. Dan sings for his kids, for his wife, and for a society in existential crisis.

Includes singles, "Diminishing Returns", "Melody", and "Cut The Brakes".

This vinyl edition was produced by Arts & Crafts Records in 2025.
