ARIEL PINK ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM & SHARES FIRST TRACK

2 mins read

Oh my it’s hot in here… Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti have announced a new album ‘pom pom’ via 4AD / Rhythmethod

Across its 17 tracks and 69 minutes, pom pom is unfiltered Ariel, a pied piper of the absurd, with infectious tales of romance, murder, frog princes and Jell-O. The record sees the Los Angeles native strike it out alone, returning to the solo moniker he has adopted for well over a decade when cementing his name as a king of pop perversion.

From demented kiddie tune collaborations with the legendary Kim Fowley (songs like ‘Jell-O’ and ‘Plastic Raincoats In The Pig Parade’ were written with Fowley in his hospital room during his recent battle with cancer), to beatific, windswept pop (‘Put Your Number In My Phone’, ‘Dayzed Inn Daydreams’), scuzz-punk face-melters (‘Goth Bomb’, ‘Negativ Ed’), and carnival dub psychedelia (‘Dinosaur Carebears’), pom pom could very well be Ariel Pink’s magnum optus.

“Although this is the first “solo” record credited to my name, it is by far the least “solo” record I have ever recorded.” – Ariel Pink.

Listen to first track ‘Put Your Number In Your Phone’ here:

pom pom is Ariel Pink’s third studio album for 4AD, following his Haunted Graffiti releases BEFORE TODAY (2010) and MATURE THEMES (2012).

pom pom will be available as a 2xLP, CD and digital download.
