BEING SOMEWHERE day! Europe very soon!

Hello love,

For the love of dogs, go listen to Being Somewhere! Today is the day!

Here is what some fine publications have had to say about it:

“This sixth studio LP moves the needle yet again, stripping back the production but not the experimentation, never losing sight of his brilliance as a songwriter… Being Somewhere carries a gentle wisdom, filled with kindness. It’s like being given a cosy sonic hug while the world’s storms rage outside and will likely add to the collection of awards already clogging Mangan’s mantelpiece.”
- MOJO

“…strikes a fine balance between the quiet intimacy of his best work and Bon Iver’s most fractalised folktronica.”
- UNCUT

“Full of kindness and empathy, the Vancouver songwriter's latest serves as a gentle reminder to appreciate what you have before it's gone.”
- RANGE (read full article here)

“Being Somewhere showcases some of Mangan’s finest writing couched in some of the most atmospheric arrangements to appear in his catalogue.”
- The Vancouver Sun (read full article here)


Europe is right around the corner! We’ve been working on the new material and the band sounds incredible. So come find us, if you can.

Holding this LP in my hands felt like I’d broken the ribbon on a very long marathon. You can hold your own copy, if ya like!

Here are some things that you can do to support this work and help it reach to more ears. It all makes a huge difference and means the world to me.

  • Purchase a physical LP or CD directly from Arts & Crafts

  • Save it to your library or "heart" it on your streaming service of choice

  • Add songs from Being Somewhere to playlists

  • Follow me on Spotify

  • Use these songs as your "sound" on TikTok vids or Instagram reels & stories

  • Mention it to friends, play it for them when they visit, share it on your socials, etc.

Thank you for your eyes and your ears.
