Chad VanGaalen‘s 6th album will be out on September 8th. The record is called Light Information.
The Calgary indie rocker says being a parent and watching his kids grow up has been an inspiration.
“Being a parent has given me a sort of alternate perspective, worrying about exposure to a new type of consciousness that’s happening through the internet,” he says. “I didn’t have that growing up, and I’m maybe trying to preserve a little bit of that selfishly for my kids.”
VanGaalen wrote, produced and performed all the parts of the records save for a few exceptions. He also designed the cover art.
Great warm tones, synths, and dark wave reverb abound.
His press release describes the single “Old Heads.” The song “Old Heads” is a sci-fi space anthem to technology that constantly replaces itself, proving both necessary and unnecessary at the same time. It’s also a jangly pop gem, a trip through the fantastical that is ultimately warm and relatable.
