‘More Or Less’ is an album that Mangan claims “feels more like ‘me’ than ever. More sparse. Less meticulous. More kids. Less time. More direct. Less metaphor. More discovery. Less youth. More warmth. Less chaos.” It sees him telling of having a family and the changes and challenges that has brought to his life with touching honesty and warmth.
Today he shares a lyric video to accompany the track “Peaks & Valleys” – a stirring reminder to hold onto the ones we love through life’s ups and downs.
