The Calgary songwriter's 2021 album is a psychedelic bumper crop. A collection of tunes that does away with obsessiveness, the anxiety of perfectionism, in favour of freshness and immediacy - capturing the world as it was met while recording alone at home over a period of years. 'Don't overthink it', VanGaalen told himself again and again, despite the push/pull love/hate of his relationship with songwriting. 'I'm always trying to get outside of the song - but then I realise I love the song'.
