Vancouver folk rock songwriter Dan Mangan has returned with a new single. "In Your Corner (for Scott Hutchison)" is out now.
The song is a tribute to Frightened Rabbit songwriter Scott Hutchison, who died in 2018.
Mangan said in a statement, "We'd only met once but Scott's passing eviscerated me. He was my age and very close with several dear friends of mine. Either he couldn't see how deeply he was loved by the world, or he didn't feel worthy of it. How come he could bring joy to so many people but not to himself? I remember weeping as I poured cereal for my boys that morning. This song came very quickly in the days that followed."
The tender acoustic ballad was produced by Drew Brown (Radiohead, Beck, Blonde Redhead). Check out a lyric video below. Check out Mangan's 2022 Canadian tour schedule here.
Mangan's last album of new material was 2018's More or Less. Since then, he's released 10th anniversary editions of Nice, Nice, Very Nice and Oh Fortune, the covers album Thief, and the anti-Trump protest song "There's a Tumor in the White House."
