His fifth album 'Sootie' was released in August 2018 and now his brand new EP release "A Planet Without An Atmosphere", a collection that finds Galapaghost venturing further down the spiral into ambient electronica and intensely personal themes has been released.

From the artist:
"I recorded this album during a particularly difficult time last year. Last October, I got diagnosed with testicular cancer and a few weeks later my Dad was run over and killed while walking in a Walmart parking lot by a distracted driver. A few months after that my wife miscarried. At times I felt like a planet without an atmosphere, which is why I chose the title for the album. Also, the album touches on the extreme disappointment that I have with every government in the world for their collective failure to implement any serious changes due to the crisis of climate change. People, and especially kids, all over the world are protesting because they want a better future for the next generation and they just keep getting stonewalled. It's especially awful in my country in the US, with Trump making absolutely awful decisions in regards to this issue because he doesn't believe global warming exists. I wanted to put a lot of ideas into a very short album and make sure that every song felt urgent and necessary."
