For those of you that visit/read this blog (which I assume is myself only) and you are looking for something new to listen to, I highly recommend looking into purchasing the new CD by Chad VanGaalen called "Soft Airplane" (Flemish Eye Records)
Although he has a couple of prior ambitious independent releases, Soft Airplane is his most accessible to date having at least something for all listeners. As a former busker in Alberta, he has been know to be an endless source of new material who continuously creates a landscape of music from everyday experiences and observation. Soft Airplane was his first release where he had the opportunity to record with ample time to create, polish, and produce what I believe to be at times both genuinely emotionally open as well as restrained.
The tracks on the album run the gambit of singer-song writer, indie pop, to electronic based pieces. I made a comment the other day to a friend of mine stating that at times it seemed part Flaming Lips part Grandaddy. After a quick listen he agreed.
So, in closing - if you are looking to purchase/download some new music I suggest you give this a listen. One of two things will happen: a) you will come back to me for other recommendations or b) this is the last post you will read of mine.
I'm good either way.
