The incredible Dan Mangan. His latest album, 2011’s Oh Fortune, is out now on Arts & Crafts. 
Check out “Post War Blues” below - and if for some reason you haven’t picked up either Oh Fortune or 2009’s Nice, Nice Very Nice yet…do it. Both albums have ranked in The Sound and The Furry’s Favorite Albums of [the year] lists (2009, 2010, & 2011) and are both HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
