MixingAriel Pink's Haunted Graffiti

Additional InformationPink's first album recorded in a professional studio is still plenty weird, mixing soft rock, synth pop, and stadium rock with goofily surreal lyrics.

Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- “There’s a strange magpie-like sensibility to Ariel Pink’s music....It’s actually quite brilliantly conceived.”, Ranked #6 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "They still retained the queasy, lysergic qualities of Pink's earliest albums.", Ranked #16 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "This was an album of possessed, ageless beauty.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Bright Lit Blue Skies' is a terrific psych-pop nugget....Ariel Pink is probably the best weirdo pop savant to emerge from the American underground since Beck.", "With Kaleidoscopic Studio Experimentation and a Widescreen Rending of His La Dreamland.", "Songs like 'Little Wig' have so many interesting interlocking parts that they can almost feel proggy, despite their relative brevity and tight pop structures.", "Every aspect seems faded and warped, but that doesn't obscure Pink's savvy maneuvering -- from the peepy 'Bright Lit Blue Skies' to the hardcore prog of 'Little Wig.'", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "BEFORE TODAY is his first move into cleanly produced pop, with Pink pouring his deranged wit into Eighties soft rock and hypnotic melodies..."
