A father of two, the spooky-voiced multi-instrumentalist Chad VanGaalen has several hundred releases to his name(s), has produced adventurous records and videos for some of the best bands of our time, is working on a feature-length animated science fiction film with companion book, and plays in two bands with his kids (the improvised hardcore punk duo, Crocodile Teeth & The Snugglers, and the live techno band, Banana Bread). Shrink Dust, his fifth full-length album under his own name, is partially a score to this film, but it’s also — in Chad’s view — a country record.
Mauno is a band that toys with pop. Their new single How Long is about the tension between the comic flicker that is life and the endless slog that it is to live. Singer Nick Everett was inspired by Townes Van Zandtʼs Waiting Around To Die and decided to write something about the tenuousness and ingratitude of living.
