Lover of robots and huggable beardo Dan Mangan is aiming for a bit of artistic reinvention.

The object of CBCer adoration recently worked on the soundtracks for Hector And The Search For Happiness and The Valley Below, and the billboards for his shows now list “Dan Mangan + Blacksmith” as opposed to “Dan Mangan” owing to the new band-centric nature of his music.

Mangan spoke to Sarah for Huffington Post Music Canada about this evolution when he was at the Toronto International Film Festival.
