by Chad VanGaalen

supported by

last vinyl before doomsday Chad VanGaalen is an absolute visionary. His music is delicate and strange and haunting; his illustrations are out of this world. The pinnacle of Calgary's bizarre early 2000's indie rock scene which produced so much talent.

about

Chad VanGaalen’s 2004 debut is is a stirring and deeply moving collection of songs varying from solo acoustic material to glitchy electronic beats, with Chad playing every instrument – as many as 20 including piano, flute, saxophone, and violin. These beautifully crafted songs really transcend any comparison; defined by a unique vision and lifted by Chad’s delicate and vulnerable vocals, they are moving, heartbreaking, and often strangely danceable. Infiniheart elicited rave reviews from The Guardian, MOJO, NME, Exclaim!, and Entertainment Weekly.
