To call Montreal-based artist Doldrums' new video 'Limerence' trippy, would be an understatement.

Yeah it doesn't get much stranger than that, but you'll find yourself strangely hooked on the visuals from start to end. The track is taken from his current LP 'ESC'.

Listen to Chad VanGaalen’s Spacey ‘Mind Hijacker’s Curse’

Chad VanGaalen is set to release his sixth LP 'Light Information' on September 8 via the Sub Pop imprint.
