Outro Music
Shrink Dust is the fifth studio album by Canadian musician Chad VanGaalen. An artist who started with a few scattered independent releases, done mostly on homemade CDs with hand-drawn art. His latest release is out on Flemish Eye in Canada and Sub Pop in the United States. “Frozen Paradise” is a nice intro to an artist blending major songwriting mojo with minimal electronic flourishes. – Frozen Paradise -Cedar & Soil
