Anyone keeping up with Chad VanGaalen — and everyone should be — has seen his drawings at some point or another, gracing the covers to his albums, lending an air of animated surreality to videos by Guster and Chad VanGaalen. And once again, Chad does himself a solid — a murderous and weird, colorfully ominous solid — with the treatment for the vengeful and eerie strums of “Molten Light.” The twisted fairy tale also serves as the second listen to his forthcoming Sub Pop release Soft Airplane, so key in on that. And also how easily you’ll sing along to “I’ll find you and I’ll kill you.”
Yup. Soft Airplane is out 9/9 via Sub Pop. This one comes from it:
Enjoy.

I am so excited for this album.
this is great!
“cries of the dead” is amazing.
Awesome song.
Awesomer video.
Similar surrealist imagery as Bjork’s Wanderlust video minus the big budget and having to supply the guys at Encyclopedia Pictura with mushrooms.
Can’t wait for the album. Willow Tree is sublime.
I hate this guy. He is so fucking annoying on his podcast.
and you, the idiot, are no good for anyone.
I dug it. I haven’t listened to anything he’s done before and that was? killer.
It reminded me of Nina Nastasia a bit.
That’s the best video he’s ever done. I remember hearing this song at SappyFest, that line is just so great.
Whoa, I forgot about that Guster video. Thanks for the reminder, it’s awesome. (And this new one’s not bad either.)
