Ariel Pink and Jorge Elbrecht - "Hang On To Life" (LOVED)

Ariel Pink comes through with a new, collaborative a-side with Jorge Elbrecht with the song "Hang On To Life." The 7" is due for release on Mexican Summer, and the track basically embodies everything that's been so great about Ariel's material over the past several years.

"Hang On To Life," in a sense, is about heartbreak. It features soft rock instrumentation, a killer chorus, and plenty of retro kitsch. While Pink probably isn't going to give up these aged sounds anytime soon, it doesn't matter to me as long as the songwriting is this top-notch!

Ariel Pink and Added Pizazz- "In the Heat of the Night" | MP3

Growing in popularity due to his recent album Before Today, Ariel Pink is setting to release a new EP this year, too. It'll be released on July 9th via Free Dope and Fucking In the Streets, which looks like a makeshift label produced just to get bloggers and various media outlets to publish articles saying "Free Dope and Fucking In the Streets."

Apparently, the release will only be available during Pink's forthcoming summer tour, but I'm sure the internet will fix that. The songs feature collaborations with the avant-jazz outfit Added Pizazz, and download one of 'em below:
