Black Mold | Spiderwebs

I frequently return to this superb animation and music from Chad Vangaalen. Some of the eerier, more surreal, early Happy Harmonies cartoons immediately spring to mind. ‘Bottles’ from 1936 being a definite example. Please watch both!

‘A warped and mutated blend of the futuristic and the organic, Snow Blindness is Crystal Antz is the debut album from Black Mold – the electronic alter-ego of songwriter Chad VanGaalen. With Black Mold, VanGaalen is allowed the freedom to explore the wildest tangents of his instrumental work, using a broad palette of glitches and noise married with the warm hues of acoustic instruments, guided by a free-associative approach to songwriting.’  [Flemish Eye Records]
