The new EP 'Roboteering' coming in March, and a new full-length album "Nice, Nice, Very Nice" coming in August. Mangan also has an all-star roster of collaborators for the new project(s). The track listing for the EP reads:
1. Robots
2. The Indie Queens Are Waiting
3. Sold
4. Till I Fall
5. Tragic Turn Of Events / Move Pen Move (with Shane Koyczan)
According to an email from Mangan:
The first three tracks are from the upcoming LP and include the fine talents of Veda Hille, Mark Berube and Mark Sasso (of Elliott Brood). 'Till I Fall' is from my earliest demo, re-vamped last year with friend Julian Fane. 'Tragic/Move' is a collaboration of music, lyrics and spoken word with the wonderfully talented Shane Koyczan.You can hear the first track 'Robots' at the close of the CBC Radio 3 Valentines Day Podcast or on his new website.
