Juno Award-winning musician Dan Mangan has released a string of singles lately, hinting at a forthcoming album. Our song of the day, “Troubled Mind,” is one of them, shared last month. Mangan explained that the single is about "the struggle to maintain any kind of mental equilibrium in the day-to-day as we're bombarded with the woes of the world." The track comes with a lyric video by Ben Clarkson which splices together vintage dance footage, adding a touch of fire to the clips. Mangan’s last full-length album was 2015’s collaborative album Club Meds and in 2016 he released the EP Unmake.
