Ariel Pink - pom pom

Pop's biggest oddball comes through with his strongest set of songs since the 00s.

Ariel Pink - "Picture Me Gone"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS87mPfD_yI&feature=youtu.be Ariel Pink has just shared a fittingly chilling and tragic video for "Picture Me Gone," taken from his upcoming "solo debut" pom pom. The track might just be Ariel's most mature and moving track yet, expressing with commendable candor the anxiety and pressure that the prospect of starting a family makes him feel. The song's also one of his most frightening, dwelling on the matters of our ultimately ephemeral existences and our fading senses of sentimentality in the modern world. But none of that's anywhere near as disquieting as the latex Ariel mask that appears throughout the video...

pom pom is out November 18 via 4AD. If you're still an Ariel Pink skeptic, he also did a powerful rendition of "Picture Me Gone" recently with the PS22 Chorus that you might wanna check out. Find it here:
