ARIEL PINK'S HAUNTED GRAFFITI (US)
“Before Today” (4AD, 2010)
Having recently been promoted from the league of great eccentrics to the honours division of brilliant creators of pop, Ariel Pink with “Before Today” has shelved a decade of home recordings, unrestrained songs and blurred pop to join the ranks of the 4AD label. The Californian has not changed his style significantly- despite the fact that this is his first “professional” recording, lo-fi is still the name of the game-but his delicious fusion of eighties pop and sparkling sound of the seventies takes on a new dimension thanks to incredible songs like “Little Wig”, “Bright Lit Blue Skies” and “Menopause Men”.
