Quite A Bit Of Free Music From Galen Hartley
MONTREAL, CANADA (Top40 Charts/ Ricburn Media) On January 19th, Montreal-based indie folk artist Galen Hartley is officially launching his new album Good Dreams alongside Athena Holmes at Cajibi in Montreal.
(details at https://www.facebook.com/events/338629369500203/)

To mark the occasion, www.CriticStudio.com is streaming the entire disc, as well as offering two singles for free download. Check out the feature here:

As if that weren't enough, Hartley has made his old band Elephant Island's 2006 album Monument available for free via Bandcamp, as well.

The album can be downloaded at this location:

"My favorite thing about listening to this album again is hearing Emily's voice...", says Hartley. "She comes up with great harmonies. I feel like we were really trying to find some sort of new folk music... and we were SURE we didn't need a bass player. The truth is almost every band needs a bass player. Bass is rad."

Make sure to stay up to date on Galen's activities via his official website,

About Galen Hartley:
Galen Hartley followed the well worn path from Victoria to Montreal last March, and soon completed his debut solo record, Good Dreams. In fact representing the seventh album in Hartley's music career, this new disc still marks many rsts. "I was very much
in the habit of working with a band, so it was a little daunting to be making a solo record... but eventually I came to know the many
wonders of being the boss," says Hartley.

Good Dreams, the resulting indie-folk-rock opus, is music in the vein of Cass McCombs, Andrew Bird and Okkervil River - celebratory
melodies, undercurrents of romance and revenge, poetic absurdity - and best of all, it's just fun to listen to. "I love pop music, but I've
kind of been trying to out-think it for a long time... This time I just tried to relax and let the guiding principle be 'what would sound
awesome?'"

Contributing in no small part to the awesomeness is an all-star supporting cast that Hartley is quick to praise. "I had a lot of help
from some amazing players on this record. Everyone turned in fantastic performances, and the variety of their backgrounds -
jazz, classical, folk - really adds to the texture of the album."

More fun facts about Galen Hartley:
- In 2001 his most ridiculous and successful album (Panty Boy's Orgy of the Senses) peaked at number 49 on Exclaim Magazine's
national charts. Sitting at number 50? The Tragically Hip!

- He's worked as an accompanist for the Tripod Collective, a modernimprov dance troupe. He even danced with them once
(with a cardboard box on his head).

- He accompanies the Portuguese fado singer, Sara Marreiros.

- He can sing in Portuguese, but isn't quit sure if he can speak it.

- He was very nearly employed as a phone psychic at the age of 18.

- He cuts his own hair. Sometimes he cuts other peoples hair.
