Fresh Chops: Dan Mangan + Blacksmith

Here’s a stunning new piece of music from Dan Mangan + Blacksmith who have just revealed the third track from their forthcoming album ‘Club Meds’.

Set for release on January 12th via City Slang in Europe, the band have also just announced a full EU tour for this spring including a London show at Islington Assembly Hall on April 30th.

A sombre, swirling bed of synths and loops that provides the perfect backdrop for Mangan’s rich and hearty vocal acrobatics, ‘Kitsch’ is a hugely impressive offering that hints at lustrous depths and some very weighty subject matter on the new record.

“Club Meds is about sedation” Mangan writes in the record’s liner notes. “Sedation can be chemical, but not exclusively so. There is a great vacation from actuality going on. Maybe there always has been. It seems like everybody else is already at the party and that life is somehow easier or more fun under the fog.”

Stream ‘Kitsch’ here:
