Postcards and Daydreaming is the debut full-length release from Canadian indie singer-songwriter Dan Mangan, released independently on October 20, 2005.

Contents

The album was re-released on July 10, 2007 by the File Under Music label.

Critical reception

The album was generally well received in the Canadian indie music scene. Kerry Doole of Exclaim! noted that the album showcases Mangan's "highly promising talent" and that "Mangan’s career progress will merit watching." In a review of a later Mangan album, Oh Fortune, Julian Uzielli of mitZine said, "Postcards and Daydreaming (2007), showed obvious potential, despite the fairly generic acoustic-folk sound."

The musical style of the album has been described as "sombre and melancholy" and "a good sulky-day companion".
