The Profile

Canadian singer‑songwriter, multi‑instrumentalist, producer and animator from Calgary, Alberta. Active since the early 2000s, he releases music on Flemish Eye and Sub Pop, blending lo‑fi indie rock with experimental folk.

Alias: Black Mold. Labels: Flemish Eye, Sub Pop. Known for home‑recorded production, illustration/animation work, and albums such as Infiniheart, Skelliconnection, and Soft Airplane.

A warmly enthusiastic, poetic take on Infiniheart, praising its lo‑fi, ethereal textures and intimate home‑recorded feel. Highlights include “Clinically Dead,” electronic loops on “J. C.’s Head On The Cross,” and acoustic reveries like “Somewhere.” The review frames VanGaalen alongside Broken Social Scene, Ariel Pink, Beck, and John Lennon, and notes his illustrator/street‑artist roots and early live support slots.
