Song-A-Day

Here is the first of many magical moments we’ll be bringing you from the minds of John Manson and Dan Madri. Personally, I find John’s lyrical compositions and delivery somewhere between late Leonard Cohen and Scott Walker, and Dan’s bare bones accompaniment only accentuates the song’s stark beauty, making the above track, Angels, truly angelic.

John Manson and Dan Madri of The Gondoliers, became involved 4 years ago in a project called Fun-A-Day. (Or FAD.) And now John and Dan are continuing this tradition under the title Song-A-Day or SAD, and over the course of the coming months, we here at Mutable will be posting them regularly for your viewing and listening pleasure. Enjoy!
