Casey Chandler's solo project as Galapaghost goes electronic on "Sootie" - hear the single "Jellyfish"

Sometimes when an artist, a musician, a singer songwriter like Casey Chandler from Austin Texas (by way of Woodstock, NY) switches from his primary instrument to another magic happens. This is the case with Casey and his solo project Galapaghost where he purchased a Roland GAIA synth for his first entirely electronic album (besides bass guitar on some tracks) called "Sootie". Listen to the latest single Jellyfish and it is clear that his intuitive choice was such a great one. The simple evocative production spills over you in such a dreamy embracing way. Love the sound and how every emotional musical cue is downplayed which only serves to make it feel more emotional. Casey wrote, recorded and mixed the album all by his lonesome. I am looking forward to delving into "Sootie" in it's entirety.
