Ariel Pink @LSE 2009
After years of recording in relative seclusion in the hills of los angeles, ariel pink makes his official debut with "the doldrums". Originally a handmade cd-r release a couple years back, "the doldrums" by ariel pink's haunted graffiti was discovered by the animal collective during one of their west coast tours and became an immediate favorite. Recording at home with a guitar, bass, keyboard, and 8-track (the drum sounds are all unbelievably created with his mouth), Ariel Pink blends Lite FM and warped lo-fi pop into something beautiful and confusing, yet highly involving. Since he first got his break in 2004, Ariel Pink has been hard at work assembling a collective of veteran musicians and attempting to recreate the avant-garde compositions found on his records. Fans will be able to judge the success of the operation on the latest date of his worldwide tour held in Toulouse.
