Chris Gaelan is an old friend of Rockledge. Among other things, he is the man who pointed us to the defunct kombucha store out on Route 28 that’s now gone, the patronage of which led us to start making kombucha. So you might say we owe him everything. When he’s not helping change the direction of our lives, Chris is a singer-songwriter, musician, and record producer. Last month he released his first music as a solo artist, a single entitled “Just Another Love Song.’ But it’s not just another love song — rather, it is a grooving indie rock song reminiscent of early Blur, featuring a distorted driving post-punk bass sample over live drums and a Lou Reed-esque half-spoken vocal. The song draws influences from 90’s sample-delic artists such as Lemon Jelly with twangy dobro, guitar, and piano samples combined with Stonesy guitars and claps—mixing house music vibes with a nostalgic rock feel. Got it? In other words, it’s a great song. And Chris is a great guy. We are thrilled to share his insights on music and life with the rest of you. We hope it tickles.
