Description
A brushed snare flick just before the first chorus of Fire Escape clues you in: Being Somewhere is Dan Mangan at his most considered and close.
Across this LP he pares back the clutter and lets small melodies carry the weight. In Your Corner (for Scott Hutchison) turns a tribute into a quiet rally, with a vocal that feels almost sung into your ear. All Roads leans on a patient piano figure until the bass finally swells beneath it, and the release is earned.
This pressing does the music a favour, opening up the space around his voice so harmonies bloom, while the low end sits deeper without getting woolly. As a result, late-night play in a small Melbourne flat feels unforced.

File it next to The National’s softest moments, though Mangan’s songwriting keeps a warmer kitchen-table glow. Packaging is tasteful, and the sequencing flows in a way that invites a full side at a time. It’s a set that rewards attentive listening but never feels heavy.
