The home of music journalist Nicholas Jennings, author of Lightfoot, the definitive new Gordon Lightfoot biography from Penguin Random House.
Chad VanGaalen - Soft Airplane
He is Canada’s most unassuming indie-rock hero. A painter and animator, Calgary’s VanGaalen was surprised when he was signed to the legendary Sub Pop label and his second album, Skelliconnection, earned a Polaris Prize nomination. VanGaalen’s latest offers more fragile ballads about death (the banjo-laced, accordion-drenched “Willow Tree”) and rocking daytime reveries (the driving “Bare Feet on Wet Griptape”). Meanwhile, his “Phantom Anthills” is a brave excursion into electronic psychedelia.
