Much is happening in the life and times of Dan Mangan. He's a father now — that's a game-changer. And he's changed his stage name to acknowledge the importance of his band: it's now Dan Mangan + Blacksmith. But wait, there's more.

Mangan and company have a new album in the works, expected to be released in January. Meanwhile, Mangan's got a single to share right now, called "Vessel." And guess who's singing on the chorus? It's none other than Dave Grohl! Check it out, above.

"'Vessel' is about feeling inundated with bullshit from every angle, all the time," says Mangan. "It’s our choice to listen. We’re also all culprit to it. It takes a village to raise a fool."

Not only is "Vessel" the first single from the forthcoming album, but it's also featured in Hector and the Search for Happiness, which premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 7. The movie hits theatres in North American on Sept. 19.
