ARIEL PINK HAS NOT DIED

By NATE HARRINGTON

By the time I heard Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti in 2004 I felt like I had already missed out on the most important part of their musical career, aka the 30-odd tapes and records they’d put out over the past 8 years. Luckily, looking back now I can see that I was wrong and it was only the beginning in many ways. As you’ll see in this week’s episode of Practice Space, the band are still very much “out there,” but they’ve never sounded tighter or more determined than they do now and I think we should all be thankful and excited for/by that.

Here’s a little tune from the ‘old days’ to compare and contrast.

And here’s that one everyone likes.
