Brilliant lo lo lo-fi pop music. It's like Daniel Johnston + Casiotone for the painfully alone + Bogdan Raczynski + The Cure + Prince Other fans? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think it sounds much like daniel johnston at all to be honest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmm... it made me think of him, because of the approach to the music. Like, pop music creators, that arent produced in any way, but end op being charming as hell. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
The couple of tracks I've heard I really liked, I must seek out the album proper. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yay! I think the only way is to buy it through the website |
||||||||

Wow, I really liked this tune. I've heard hype about him and just expected something that sounded like a 90s lo-fi indie band. But this is genuinely fresh. I've listened to this tune about five times now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, i felt the same way before. I heard about it, and thought it sounded like bollox, but it turned out to be really good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just ticked "90s lo-fi indie" off of my massive chart of "All things 90s that Swears will mention", it's like some maaaad form of Bingo. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
That's what it's been described as. Compared to Sebadoh and stuff like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never liked Sebadoh. Pfff. I just searched on Regular Fries, and you'd mentioned them as well. Another tick on the chart. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, Regular Fries were shit. Sebadoh had a couple of nice tunes. |
||||||||
|

Listening to a few more of his tunes on YouTube, awesome. The vocals sound like they've been sampled from some old warped records or spooled tapes of MOR classics, and then fed through various spooky effects. It's been a long time since I've been this excited about a new artist. Gonna try and get a couple of CDs tomorrow. |
||||||||

I feel you completely!!! It's so great to find something fresh! It's uncanny and a bit ghey, how we apparently share the same taste. |
||||||||

Searching for Ariel Pink stuff, i stumbled over this, that you might be interested in as well. I think the same guy uploaded it or something. It's really good as well. |
||||||||
|
|

Yeah, I think what makes him so good is his reference points. Most acts doing this lo-fi kinda stuff would maybe be into the Velvet Underground, other shambling indie schmindie acts, maybe a touch of Blues or Folk. He seems to be taking inspiration from MOR stuff like Fleetwood Mac, Kate Bush, REO Speedwagon. If you recorded these songs "properly" they could be massive hits, but that's not the point. His tracks are like ghosts of pop songs, you can never quite focus on what's going on in the tune. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, have you ever heard any Gary Wilson? He's sort on the same tip. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, i haven't. Just typed his name into youtube. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I completely agree BTW. His music just has this nerve, and i actually think it might dissapear if it was overproduced. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Strong Elvis Costello influence on the lower-pitched vocals too, I've noticed and maybe a little Bowie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck me, Gary Wilson is really fucking good as well. His voice is completely brilliant. This really makes me wan't to make some new tracks, this. |

From wikipedia on Gary Wilson In the early 2000's, Motel Records began a search to find the reclusive musician, but were unsuccessful (even after hiring a private detective). He was eventually found through contacting ex-band members. He was nearly 50 years old, working at an adult video store, playing keyboard in a weekly lounge act at the Rancho Bernadino Lounge and living with his girlfriend (a grad student at UCSD studying experimental art) I LOL'ed |
||||||||

I have a mate who's really into him. He plays his tunes in the the car all the time. I think some of those hip hop rare record collector sort of people like Peanut Butter Wolf are big fans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck. Everybody who doesnt listen to all this stuff, are really cheating themselves. |
||||||||

I'm too drunk to understand or even read all .. blah, but Ariel Pink is really great, but really lofi, ofcourse ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at least he's kinda unique. |

I love 'The Ballad of Bobby Pyn', hauntological! 8 ) |

ive been championing Ariel Pink for a while now. He has released some absolutely quality stuff. 'Worn Copy' is a great album and his Latitudes session 'Pedestrian Pop Hits' is ace too. Still waiting for a lot of his rereleases in the UK although I suspect its him thats putting them out in such a random order and that therell always be massive holes in his catalogue over here. |
||||||||

I did a search for Ariel pink in the xltronic search engine, and i did notice that you mentioned him. Cool. |
||||||||
|

|
Just wanted to bump this one, with his myspace, that has some VERY good tracks on right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Personally, I think it's got a My Bloody Valentine, out of focus sound to it. Quite enjoyable really! |

Ha! what do you know, the name didn't ring a bell but I recognized that song right away.. my cousin used to play that alot back in our dorm room at college. I always liked it.. It's a very interesting mix of influences. It reminds me alot of the Doors right around the 1:10 mark.. Great band name too. Thanks for the heads up, J. |
