Unquenchable Thirst - Ariel Pink & The Haunted Graffiti - Before Today (4AD)

Rinse and repeat this whole album immediately. I haven't been obsessed with a cohesive LP this much in a long long time. Who knew that Ariel would benefit so much from a recording budget, some studio musicians and proper equipment. I mean, obviously the kid had immense talent with rickshaw perfect pop songs in "Kate I Wait" and "Alisa", but god damn this will be in constant rotation all summer. Mr. Pink you have outdone yourself once again. Big ups to 4AD for supporting good art. I guess the only downside to this album has to be...no mouth drums?

9.5 .... IMMENSE UPS TO DECIBEL TOLLS FOR TELLING IT LIKE IT IS. Paul Pierce Truth 34 right here.

Guy is one prolific mother fucker. Check out this blissed out funky sax track he just put out with the ADDED PIZZAZ, where you might be able to teleport to a stoned out jazzy wave in the ocean, say'n.
