well I mean I can, but in a world where Grizzly Bear are suddenly huge I can't.
i was way into his first album back whenever that came out but all the ones since have left me mostly cold

He definitely gets some love up in Canada, probably not enough.Infiniheart is definitely where it's at; also his production for Women

Your Tan Looks Supernatural was such a great name for a song/ep. Wish he'd saved it for the album.

Oh I see - I assumed this thread was about a guy called Chad Vangallen-Skelliconnection and thought "what a weird surname"...

Love this new album. For the curious, check out "Sara."Agree with Owen that Infiniheart is great. This one is up there though.

Everybody says "van Gahlen" and sometimes "van Gaylen" but wouldn't it actually be "van Gohlen"?

I say "van Gaylen" but I haven't really thought about it too hard.

Don't really know this dude at all but I'm into "Shrink Dust."

Yep, really like this a lot. Guess I should listen to his back catalog.

I'm enjoying the Green Corridor Xiu Xiu split. Still not sure if I'm completely convinced with VanGaalen on the whole.

Shrink Dust is so good and no one is talking about it.
