Ariel Pink

disappointed to find out he's a stoner. weed is boring. was hoping he was either a pillhead...

"Gettin' high in the morning" iirc

damn sorry for the wack html

Wait, how is it a surprise that he's a stoner?

he was terrific and totally pro when i saw him 3 years ago (with band). new single sounds ok. i agree w/bamquern re: the vocals. same situation with that recent-ish (?) glass candy single where ida no's vox are devoid of much reverbhaze and just don't mesh. weed is awesome, btw.

add lucifer's friend s/t to the stack of "waht does this cover look like"

i thought of Ramones meets Ziggy Stardust covers

disappointed to find out he's a stoner. weed is boring. was hoping he was either a pillhead or totally clean and just naturally mental.

this is some of the weirdest I-demand-a-certain-image-from-the-artist stuff I have ever run across

xposts didn't mean to out him as a stoner (if indeed i did), thought it was well-known/obvious tbh...

wow - he's the first person ive ever heard of who smokes weed!

everyone in california smokes the doobage. even your mom.

I really wasn't serious, no do U care what drugs the dude does tbh. I'm just saying Miley Cyrus is probably a pothead. It's so normal these days that to hear stories about how he smoked a dump truck full of weed before a show is just kind of... mundane. I demand juicier drug details from my weirdo artists!!

wtf? that should be *nor do I care*

no do U care

lol u were high as a motherfucker when you wrote that

i thought of Ramones meets Ziggy Stardust covers

I'm getting a sort of cross between Ziggy Stardust and What's THIS For by Killing Joke...

xposts
it was a pretty mundane story, sorry! :) anyway it was a superb gig, his band were seriously chops-tastic, and the new song is grrreat. love that moment about two minutes in when the multilayered voices singing "Hold on!" break thru the haze. to paraphrase what someone said upthread about the album cover, it makes me feel nostalgic for something that I can't quite place, and that may not have ever actually existed. excited about the new album.

Cover reminded me of Desmond Child and Rouge

tbh i hear AP is crazed w c0c@1n3 but more broadly i dont care

just echoing the love for round and round

have you heard Can't Hear My Eyes? u gotta

leaked, btw.

yeah, and the album is aswesome.
the production of it is the best thing i've heard in awhile, which i guess is even a bigger achievement for him as a lo-fi artist (till now).
as for the tunes: a little more accessible, but the weird-psych is still going on with full power for most of it, and thank god for that.

every song sounds a somewhat different, though they all share the same vibe as a whole:
animal collective, mercury rev (little wig), stereolab (bright lit), air, fleetwood mac/chicago (can't hear my eyes). actually 70's softrock all over the place.
gotta love it.

Hoping we get at least one Aeroplane remix of a track from this album.

well this album pretty much owns

excited!!

what is a butt-house blondie?

the last track on this is pretty ace.. it's like a weirdo kraut wire tune

There's a zip on 4chan but i that sounds like a bad idea....

This might be the best thing he has done. Either that, or I'm getting carried away. Time will tell.

This one is going definitely going to net him a new audience. The production is excellent, shimmering and hazy, and shows he can work just as well within a more "produced" setting. Late 70's Fleetwood Mac aesthetic is definitely in place, plenty of weirdo lounge-pop; this has "LA Record" written all over it.

what are the lyrics of the chorus of "round and round"?

today i've been singing "i'm goin baaaaaack/ goin baaaaaack/ to the maaaaaaaaall"

now is the time alloted for ariel pink, huh. is this just 4ad publicity? or ppl hate lofi more than i thought. not sure what else helps an act like this move up a division as it looks like is going on.

ariel pink is da best at basslines

s this just 4ad publicity?

partly, sure

or ppl hate lofi more than i thought.

hifi music is generally more accessible

not sure what else helps an act like this move up a division as it looks like is going on.

writing a single as good as "round and round"

xp OTM "alisa" por ejemplo

people like to think they're watching artists grow up and mature and grow, and this all fits into his whole narrative about shedding the bullshit and giving you the real, raw deal ariel pink.

chorus of the year so far imo

the raw pink

can't wait to see this dude live

@ the hollywood bowl

ogmor: i'm listening to this album pretty loud in my living room atm and my stepfather just asked what artist this is, and said he was groovin to it and would check him out. he's not a total grump but i'm pretty sure if it were any other ariel pink album he would have just told me to turn it down or off entirely.
