Being Elsewhere Mix is the eighth album by Canadian singer-songwriter Dan Mangan, released August 30, 2024, on Arts & Crafts Productions.Sydney Brasil, [https://exclaim.ca/music/article/dan-mangan-announces-being-elsewhere-mix-cd "Dan Mangan Announces 'Being Elsewhere Mix CD'"]. Exclaim!, July 30, 2024. Conceived as a mixtape rather than a traditional studio album, it comprises a mixture of acoustic rerecordings of songs from his prior album Being Somewhere, cover versions of songs by Bob Dylan, Damien Jurado and The Lumineers, and several songs that Mangan had released as non-album singles following Being Somewhere.Kerry Doole, [https://ca.billboard.com/music/orville-peck-shawn-mendes-new-album "New & Upcoming Canadian Album Releases: Country Phenom Orville Peck Returns, Shawn Mendes, Dan Mangan Announce New Albums"].

Mangan described the album as one that "lives outside the confined pressures of album cohesion. The vision is to embrace the chaos of my differing creative impulses and let them breathe together."Vicki Duong, [https://www.straight.com/music/dan-mangan-announces-new-album-inspired-by-2000s-mix-cds "Dan Mangan announces new album inspired by 2000s mix CDs"].
