Art takes on many forms of different shapes and sizes, and if anyone is fluent in most (if not all of them), it’s Calgary singer/songwriter Chad VanGaalen.

Visual artist, animator, and all-around folksy musician type, VanGaalen doesn’t rush his art: he lets it stew and serves it up when it’s truly ready…. have a taste for yourself in the embed below, with “Heavy Stones” and “Sara” off his latest effort Diaper Island. You can get your second helping over on VanGaalen’s Myspace.
