In 2003, at 20 years old, Mangan completed his first set of recordings: an EP of simply recorded acoustic songs called All At Once.
Five hundred copies were pressed and sold or given away throughout the Vancouver area.
With a bank loan and a small community of musicians who would offer cheap or free sessions, Mangan recorded Postcards & Daydreaming in the summer of 2005 with producer Daniel Elmes and good friend Simon Kelly.
Mangan released the album independently at first, selling the album online and at live shows.
In July 2007, Vancouver-based independent record label File Under: Music picked up the LP and re-released the album with new artwork and an extra track, "Ash Babe".
The following March, the record was released in Australia by ABC/Warner.
