"After keeping things fairly stripped-down on Nice, Nice, Very Nice, Dan Mangan takes a fuller approach to this 2011 follow-up, which widens the playing field with orchestral arrangements (courtesy of Eyvind Kang, who brought a similar sonic sweep to the Decemberists' Crane Wife) and an imaginative backup band. Oh, Fortune is still an indie folk album at heart, with Mangan’s acoustic guitar and baritone voice giving every song its most basic foundation, but it’s also the most ornate thing he’s ever done, often sounding more like the Swell Season’s lush pop than Bon Iver’s sparse Americana."
