Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti



I don't know what to say what about this band's name: Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. If it's an obscure reference, then please clue me in, because I'm completely unfamiliar. It grew on me for a minute, but I'm still not satisfied with it. It is not nearly as interesting as their music.

There's a lot of Rolling Stones circa 'Emotional Rescue', some 80s pop, a shot of late 70s electro-wave and sprinklings of various other things from the nebula of the Brians Eno and Ferry. It becomes something that is like subdued-glam. It makes me nostalgic for several eras all at once, which, in a way - means that is has extracted a bit of timelessness from the Over-Soul of good music.

Check out there introductory handshake: "Round and Round"

Also, check out what could be the weirdest cover art of recent memory. It makes me smile, but doesn't really prepare you for what their album sounds like.
