More or Less, Dan Mangan's fifth full-length album, reflects the evolution in the Vancouver-based musician's personal and musical journey. He's simplifying things, and learning to appreciate what may have seemed imperfect or unfinished. The result is a warm, intimate and sometimes sparse sound that remains classic Dan Mangan.

Watch as Mangan performs songs from More or Less plus a couple of older tunes from his catalogue. He even gets the Studio 211 audience to not only act as his backing choir, but also do the harmonies!
