Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Before Today


LA-based avant garde musician Ariel Pink and his band Haunted Graffiti are scheduled to release a new album titled Before Today, their debut album since the tenure with 4AD.

Before Today comprise of twelve new tracks, including the infectious single recently unveiled Round and Round (can be heard on 4AD).

Ariel Pink's forthcoming album will hit stores on June 8.

Six months in the making, Before Today was recorded in part in Encino at the House of Blues with Sunny Levine and Rik Pekkonen as well as at the band's home studios. The result is a beguiling mix of glam rock, West Coast funk and Merseybeat harmonies with a high-production sheen; a contrast to the corroded bedroom recordings that have fomented a fervent cult following over the past decade.

The outfit, now consisting reclusive pop surrealist Ariel Pink (vocals) alongside Tim Koh (bass/vocals), Kenny Gilmore (guitar/vocals) and Aaron Sperske (drums/vocals).
