World's Most Stressed out Gardener
“Chad VanGaalen has always struck me as a pretty chilled guy. With a career spanning a little over 15 years, his music has bridged the gap between breezy pop and studied introspection with a quirky, almost Adventure Time-esque sense of creativity.

Light Information
“Chad VanGaalen mines an alternate future on Light Information”
Shrink Dust
“If everything Chad VanGaalen touches seems to have a repellant, piss-pungent weirdness about it, that's kind of a ruse—his records of jangly junkyard-pop are warm, inviting, and surprisingly easy to love. His latest, Shrink Dust, is possibly his best, and certainly his most confident; it's the closest we've come yet to getting inside his head.”
Soft Airplane
“After two releases mined from years of home recordings, Calgary songsmith Chad VanGaalen gathers a handful of songs recorded around the same time, in the same place, and unsurprisingly he finally attains a uniformity of sound and theme that can hold his gorgeously fractured songs together.”
Diaper Island (Bonus Track Version)
“The Canadian singer/songwriter/producer turns in a more focused album with a sonic palette reminiscent of his recent production work for Women.”
Skelliconnection
“Sub Pop performer issues his second album, another impressive document of his intuitive and inventive songwriting.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
