Galapagos = Where I Am
Such a great video for this tried and true Galapagos track. Jacob McNaughton has been cooking up solid chill vibes for quite some time now. And, with some introductory help from Jarred at Life: Aquatic, I have been enjoying those vibes. Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m listening to some serious beat production or ambient soundscapes. And I think it’s both.
After the release of Sounds Vol. 1, I was waiting to see what was next. And it looks like when it rains it pours. Brand new digital/physical label Chill Mega Chill just revealed to the world their first release, which is a cassette release of Galapagos’ EP Miracle Child. And to make matters a whole lot better, they were just featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered blog. Lot’s of goodness in store for this guy.
