Chad VanGaalen - City of Electric Light

by RCRDLBL on Wed, 2008/11/26 - 10:02pm

After putting the finishing touches on his award-winning science fair project, Mr. VanGaalen has found the time to bang out some mighty fine pop music that is now available to the world via Sub Pop. "City of Electric Light" is Exhibit A: elegiac acoustic simplicity garnished with tasteful percussion and xylophone. Chad is heading across the pond to the U.K. and Sweden in the next week, so download and consider a live rendezvous if you live somewhere in between Bristol and Stockholm.

Sounds Like: Of Montreal, The Uglysuit, The Flaming Lips
