Chad VanGaalen’s Shrink Dust was a hidden gem in 2014, with galactic psych reverb spilling over jangly guitars and weird, spaced-out lyrics. Light Information keeps the formula intact: danceable indie rock with an experimental streak and nimble storytelling. Lead single “Old Heads” is a sci-fi anthem to technology that constantly replaces itself, proving both necessary and unnecessary at the same time. Chad VanGaalen is sincerely one of my favorite artists. I love the control he has over the production and representation of his music and all of the details he puts in to it. Out of a sea of artists I really connect with the lyrics. Have been a fan since I discovered Soft Airplane in 2006.
It’s also just really fun to listen to.
