Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

The alternative pop/rock and lo-fi recordings of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti are full of intrigue -- and full of contradictions. Pink, a male singer, composer, musician, and producer who is based in Los Angeles, provides songs that are melodic, catchy, and familiar -- songs that, in their own unorthodox way, recall the most immediate, accessible, straightforward FM pop/rock of the '70s and '80s. But Pink's work also comes across as bizarre, trippy, skewed, and twisted -- and a lot of that strangeness comes from his production style. As a songwriter, Pink ha...[more]

Think you've heard enough Ariel Pink? Well our favorite omnivorous media junkie from LA still has a few tricks left up his sleeve -- like the left-of-center House Arrest. Sure The Doldrums and Worn Copy had some hits and humdingers on them, but House Arrest never lets up. It's hit after hit after hit. Sorta like if you listened to your friend's boombox mix tape from Top 40 radio around 1985. Some people might think that sounds like a recipe for disaster. We say bring on the Dorit   [ read more ]

On Worn Copy, Arial Pink brews a disorienting amphetamine-spiked, acid-laced pop cocktail, and transports the listener to an impressionistic, potential past, where broadcasts from every era seamlessly collide together in an FM vacuum, filtering and blending all of rock'n'roll's most secret transgressions. A very tipsy, mega-bold mishmash delivered with simultaneous beauty, fear, absurdity, and confusion. Addictive.

After years of recording in relative seclusion in the hills of Los Angeles, Ariel Pink (the first non-Animal Collective member on the Paw Tracks roster) makes his official Paw Tracks debut with The Doldrums. Originally a handmade CD-R released a couple years back, The Doldrums was discovered by the Animal Collective during one of their west coast tours and became an immediate favorite. Recording at home with a guitar, bass, keyboard, and 8-track (the drum sounds are all unbelievably created wi   [ read more ]

Compiling selections from Ariel Pink's massive bank of half forgotten cassettes can seem like an effort in vain, or a pyrrhic victory at best, as what is left out is equally deserving of a listen as what's included. The tracks selected for Scared Famous were all recorded at a key moment in Ariel's recording adventure, dating back to, or immediately following the recordings on House Arrest.

Originally released as a CD-R, this acid-fried eight-track recording by this odd newcomer to Animal Collective's Paw Tracks label is one of the most wonderfully skewed takes on classic pop you're likely to hear. Tape warp and vintage hiss and hum are the outerwear, but some serious '70s radio songcraft dwells underneath. This is the stuff Bowie heard in his dreams when not being terrorized by Satan living in his swimming pool. So dang it if we don't have a lo-fi revival on our hands. But t   [ read more ]
