Album Description Using an assortment of instruments, both conventional and handmade, Chad's created an even more diverse assemblage of music than for his last album and debut, "Infiniheart". He's an amazingly talented illustrator and animator. You may have seen his videos for his own "Clinically Dead" and Love As Laughter's "Dirty Lives". Both were featured on MTV2's "Subterranean" video show, which Chad also hosted. He's played with Built To Spill, Wolf Parade, and The Pixies, to name a few. This record is a restless, living thing, roaming between simple yet beautiful ballads, aggressively dissonant post-punk and jazz-inflected synth-pop explorations, at times whimsical, and at others heartrending.

CD ReviewsExcellent, Even Brilliant Indie Pop RadioNDN | Midwestern USA | 10/11/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "VanGaalen is a Calgary based illustrator/animator/musician who recorded the 15 songs that make up "Skelliconnection" in his basement studio at home. This is by no means a lo-fi recording, though. Instead, it's a beautifully produced, stylistically diverse album that sounds like a collaboration between Devendra Banhart, Beck and the Moldy Peaches. Standout tracks include the rocker "Flower Garden," "Red Hot Drops," "See-Thru-Skin," "Dead Ends," and the lullaby-like "Sing Me 2 Sleep." This has to be one of the best indie releases this year, and one of the best albums of the year, period."
