Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti- Mature Themes

August 13, 2012Reviewsadmin5 Comments

Though Mature Themes does contain some of my favorite Ariel Pink songs, it's hardly a solid listen. Between "Nostradamus & Me" and "Driftwood," there are just too many underwhelming and forgettable potholes on this LP.

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti- "Only In My Dreams"

July 10, 2012New Tracksadmin3 Comments

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti drops a new, summery track from their forthcoming album, Mature Themes. The guitar parts here have a bit of a sweet, 60s pop rock edge to 'em, but that's sort of tapered with Pink's usual dose of oddball vocals and general weirdness. Of course, not a bad thing. Rather, a great thing.

Look for Mature Themes via 4AD Records on August 21st.

New video of eerie nostalgia and wedding footage from the ever-popular Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. Well, maybe the footage isn't so stock. Looks like Ariel there @ 1:11, after all.

Ariel Pink's latest album is Before Today, and find it via 4AD recs.

My Needle Drops, to be completely honest, I don't think my Dad is into much of the music I play on my radio show, post on this blog, or review on the YouTube channel. That's a shame. I want to fix it. It's a problem where a mixtape may help, but I'm not completely sure. Mixes usually work in theory, but rarely do they change much of anything in practice.

I enlisted the help of the only blogger who I'm for sure has a dad: The Music Ninja, Blas Yaselli. We strung together some recent songs from music's independent underbelly, which we think Dad's will be receptive to. Needle and Ninja working together for Fathers everywhere.

Amen.
