We have a lot of love for Chad Vangaalen around here. His new album, Soft Airplane, is awesome and as usual, he animated a video for the first single all by himself. The dude also skates, builds instruments, and recently produced an album by Women, another Calgary band, that is really good. He's on tour right now, too, so check out the dates and catch Calgary's most fertile imagination in the flesh. Dates and video after the jump.
