You can now pick up Chad VanGaalen's Cassette Series in our shop – and all profits go to charity! Check it out here.
Chad VanGaalen is launching his series of cassette albums, and the first eight will be available in limited quantities on the merch table. Listen to songs from each of the eight albums here.
Collected from the stacks and stacks of recordings that Chad has amassed over the last five years, this tape series is made up of material from across the broad spectrum of Chad's diverse output, collected into albums and pressed on limited run, hand-lettered cassettes.
With Jennifer Castle, Chad VanGaalen and Braids all on the road over the next month, pretty much every city in Canada is going to get a visit.
Check out the shows page for details. Keep an eye peeled for in-stores at some of our favourite record stores as well this month, starting with Red Cat Records in Vancouver on Saturday, October 15th.
From
his teens to early twenties, Chad VanGaalen worked in his bedroom
studio amassing hundreds of songs, selling CD-Rs with crudely assembled
covers while busking on the street. In 2004 we compiled a
collection of these enigmatic and infectious songs as Chad’s debut Infiniheart, and it went on to bring Chad acclaim from all over the damn place.
This
haunting and personal album – despite never being intended for such
widespread listenership – has never lost its status as a cult favourite,
and Infiniheart
is now available again on vinyl. The 2011 pressing of the double LP is
limited to 1000 copies on pink vinyl, and is available in stores across
Canada and online on the Flemish Eye mail order store now.
