Chad VanGaalen airs brilliantly strange video for new single "Pine and Clover"

VanGaalen's inimitable style meshes sci-fi, fantasy, and classic kids TV brightness - this clip imagines that "humans will end up being, or possibly have been." It's been made using hand-drawn cell animation, claymation, and paperless 2D animation.

"The style and economy of the animation is governed by my ability to sit in a chair and draw for as long as I possibly can without being distracted by my beautiful vegetable garden," VanGaalen explains. "Because of the garden and its beauty, I have been inspired to make most of the environments similar to what I see in the garden, so needless to say there is a lot of lettuce."

"Pine and Clover" is the second preview of VanGaalen's new LP and follows lead single "Old Heads".

VanGaalen is set to play a European tour this October, wth stops in London and Leeds confirmed. Find out more.
