While it wouldn't have been my pick for a second single from Chad VanGaalen 's upcoming, glorious Soft Airplane -- I hereby nominate "TMNT Mask" for jam of the millennium -- "Molten Light" is one of the most blood-soaked, vengeful tracks VanGaalen's ever released, a perfect exemplar of his twisted take on vintage murder ballads.

It's been a year since Chad Vangaalen released his third full-length album, Soft Airplane. Since then, Vangaalen has been touring worldwide, has had critical success, and was even shortlisted for the Polaris Music Award.As you might expect from a cross-genre musical goldmine like VanGaalen, many tracks were tossed aside after a couple takes, never to be heard from again... until now!!Nine

When I spoke to Chad back in March, he said that he didn't start actively listening to music until his late high school days, and that his time was wrapped up in drawing and animation. Then, o...

Seriously, guys, how cute is Chad VanGaalen?! He's like Zac Efron mixed with the older Jonas Brother, plus sort of like Penn Badgley from Gossip Girl! And hey, did you know he's touring this fall!? It's in Europe, but maybe if you ask your parents for an early Christmas present, and I ask my parents for an early present too, we can both get plane tickets and go! I've been listening to his newes...
