chad vangaalen

one of my favorites from the past couple years, chad vangaalen, has a new record coming out in august. last year, sub-pop reissued his amazing debut, infiniheart. the man is a bit of a genius. he makes some of the musical instruments that appear in his recordings. he also does crazy artwork and animations. apparently he's involved with a new kids show called yo gabba gabba.
here's a track that was foolishly left off the sub-pop version of infiniheart.
