Galapaghost is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Casey Chandler. Entirely self-produced, 'Bedtime' is the new single from the Texas-based musician. This new single is the second off Galapaghost's upcoming album 'Sootie'.
Taking a more electronic direction than previous efforts, Galapaghost composed 'Bedtime' using only the legendary Roland GAIA SH-01 synthesizer. The results are fantastic. It's safe to say there is a definite air of Tame Impala injected into this song with the drumbeats and vocal delivery being very reminiscent of the Australian band.
Channelling themes of childhood and youth, 'Bedtime' is a lush tune that screams of summer. There are brilliant hints of psychedelia like the reversed vocals and beat before the 80s style synths leads are introduced after the first chorus. Moments like this set Galapaghost apart from his contemporaries.
Even though there are some lovely moments of experimentation, the tune does feel quite singular and one dimensional in parts. The tune could really benefit from a time signature change or even a key change to add a little more variation to a song that promises so much.
'Bedtime' is a great single from a clearly very talented songwriter but a little bit more risk will go a hell of a long way.
'Bedtime' is out now on all good streaming services or you can listen below.
