Chad VanGaalen - Where Are You?

[@karlthunderaxe]

i saw him ten years ago and he was projecting these random doodle animations behind him while he played. the first animation of the tooth humping toothbrush appeared during "seaweed hair" and everyone started laughing so he changed the lyrics of the second verse to: "you could just pretend there isn't a tooth humping a toothbrush behind me"

[@kateclark2999]

GOOSEBUMPS....love this artist! so happy to have found him!!

[@randon7961]

I thought that thing was gonna hump the tooth brush the whole time!

[@soup7809]

Ikr

[@Shhparkle]

I love how his animations and illustrations are a perfect visual translation to what his music sounds like :)

[@TheStuboy86]

incredible animation, what an imagination!

[@hotshreddedcalvin]

Heard this and immediately pre-ordered the album. Chad's music really gets to me. Can't wait to play my record in two months.

[@MaxOakland]

How was it?

[@hotshreddedcalvin]

@@MaxOaklandits a good album, listened to this shit on repeat when it came out, though Ive liked him for a long time so you'd get that answer for most of his work. I would say my personal fave album from him tho is probaby Light Information

“ _that’s not what he said you ignorant wretch_ “ She shakes her feather head Out of the the heat they fled I count the days that you’ve been missing You flowed through space to erase And feel this focus pace It flows out slow as anything you’ve seen Where are you?x4 Our heads are spinning slow Projected colors glow I hold it in my lungs and let it go These counting senses drift Creating subtle rifts The paranoia is alive and well Where are you?x4 Our heads are spinning slowly Projected colors glowing I hold it in my lungs and let it go Where are you?x4

This is what happens to your toothbrushes when you're not looking.

VanGaalen ≈ a mad genius..

[@kartoffelsaek]

I have been an admirer of this mans work for so many years now. And tomorrow i'm going to see him live for the first time. I really hope my selfindused hype won't result in a letdown.

[@JollyRoger150]

So, how was it!

[@kartoffelsaek]

It was great. The show was held in a bar in copenhagen. So there were maybe about 150 people there max. Very cool. My only gripe was the setlist, too many new songs and not enough of the old ones. Thankfully the new songs are good live. He was telling funny stories between songs, and otherwise just beeing very real, if you know what i mean. Musically they were spot on, every bit as good as i expected. I really hoped he played Sara, since the woman i was with is named Sarah. So that would have been nice. All in all full recommendations from me.

[@Jerkcurb1]

insanely talented

[@123sambrose]

Awesomeness. I'm going to see him in Pittsburgh on May 18th. I've never been this pumped about a concert. I never thought he'd come here.

[@yharnamhunter8759]

Thank you so much for stating this. I also had no idea he'd be coming anywhere near the Steel City, so I am going to do everything in my power to attend.

[@coziaca]

Llevaba años esperando algo nuevo de este señor.

[@renecruz1621]

this is gold!

[@yharnamhunter8759]

So happy right now

[@smartarsebutler]

He's amazing. AMAZING.

[@cgzepp]

as usual, mindblogging and breathtaking!

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

One of the guys that inspired me to make animation!

[@miguelamadio9685]

Bruh u are in every single comment section of this dude, u seem to be cool

[@frog30172]

Is this one of the guys that inspired you to make animation doe?

[@MaxOakland]

That’s really cool. I can see an influence and you’ve also added a lot of your own style

[@spookasem]

So very, very cool.

[@JoshuaWhite-bt4vj]

Where are you? + brain= mind blown for life, nice video ;)

[@richardleshone]

Just awesome

[@MarcoCastilloWorld]

Really cool!

[@AyoMousy]

Molten light is to this day my favorite jam from this artist - My god. it is so beautiful shit almost made me tear and I have never been sensitive to music in anyway and this is coming from a producer/MC who grew up on gangster rap / hip-hop from 90s. Is there any other music or aritst like the song molten light I still can't find one.

[@MaxOakland]

Did you find any yet? I think some songs from Neutral Milk hotel could be similar. Also Nicole dollanganger in some ways reminds me of that song What’s the thing you like so much about the song? Maybe that will help me think of some

[@AyoMousy]

@@MaxOakland its the melody bro and the chorus too plus those guitar strings just hit sooo different especially when I meditate or listen trying to relax and stable ones mind

[@hotshreddedcalvin]

Not the same, but Ive loved chads stuff for a long time and the album In the Rainbow Rain by Okkervil river hit the same heartstrings for me

[@Scry999]

Its even better high.

[@narcissismincarnate9201]

Don't be silly.

[@heckedur]

On acid.

[@kahfieskayusac8185]

[@pattfoad]

i would have been happy with 5minutes 3 seconds of the little dude humping the toothbrush. Sublime animation as always

[@stevenpochejr]

I like this one

[@zestymoose3874]

This is the only person I would listen to on acid

[@281sven]

[@Myma1992]

[@ashtonnajarian7549]

[@williehopscotch]

[@grosspapillon9336]

I wonder, does this video connect to the story being told in Peace On The Rise? He said that it would be continuing.

[@connorbehr8498]

She shakes her feather hand ... I count the days that youve been missing He flows through space away And feel this focus flame It comes out slow as in the... Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Our hands are spinning slow The captain of its own I hold it in my lungs and let it go These mountains ... Creators of a realm The paranoia is alive and well Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Our head is spinning slow The captain of its own I hold it in my lungs and let it go Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?

[@koolrockradio917]

trippy!

[@MacDave3]

Does CV have a vivid imagination, or is he on LSD. Or both? Either way, I love it!

[@ChristianFriisLimosa]

holy snappin

[@Crunchyadventure]

Sounds like it should be on his Soft Airplane album. Hope the new stuff is different?

[@jakethepspguy]

Which video is that clip from where the man pulls his face off to reveal that he is a stranger-looking lifeform?

[@smartarsebutler]

Where can I buy this now? I just want it NOW!
