Infiniheart by Chad VanGaalen
Chad VanGaalen’s 2004 debut is is a stirring and deeply moving collection of songs varying from solo acoustic material to glitchy electronic beats, with Chad playing every instrument – as many as 20 including piano, flute, saxophone, and violin. These beautifully crafted songs really transcend any comparison; defined by a unique vision and lifted by Chad’s delicate and vulnerable vocals, they are moving, heartbreaking, and often strangely danceable. Infiniheart elicited rave reviews from The Guardian, MOJO, NME, Exclaim!, and Entertainment Weekly.
