    Ahead of their debut release for 4AD (worldwide from June 8), Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti appeared
    in session with a number of tracks from the forthcoming Before Today alongside recordings of the likes of 'Flashback' and 'Spires in the Snow' (incarnations of the latter dating back as far as 1999).
    Recorded at Studio Plateaux on the Thameside island Platts Eyot, the session showcases the band's rich pop palette; a beguiling mix of glam rock, West Coast funk and Merseybeat harmonies with a newfound high-production sheen - a contrast to the corroded bedroom recordings that have fomented a fervent cult following over the past decade.
    The outfit, now consist of reclusive pop surrealist Ariel Pink (vocals) alongside Tim Koh (bass/vocals), Kenny Gilmore (guitar/vocals) and Aaron Sperske (drums/vocals) - with Cole MGN (guitar) guesting in session.
    'Menopause Man' also features on the album Before Today, out now.

    The fucked up part is that I just bought this CD , "Before Today", and the sound quality of this live studio session is better. I am not really disappointed in the CD, I just believe they could have mastered the EQ better. Great song though! Rock on you strange bastards!

    He was dropped from his label because of cancel culture. I can only imagine how the woke left will use his songs against him moving forward. This will probably be used to call him transphobic by the same people that used to love listening to it.

Art. I hope it keeps making music without needing to be hated but that's def his kink, I guess. song kicks ass either way.

    I can appreciate the artistic value in the music, however, after having lived through the 80's when 4AD had a stellar line up of ground breaking artists. This is just not the same, what ever genre this is attaching itself to.
    Creatively, I can see a direction yet it misses the mark for me. I think there is better, yet to come from these artists. There is a gloomy aspect to their music that reminds me of The Doors.

    Umm I went from a clip with Alison Krauss to this.. Like listening first to angels sing and then end up in a sad karaokeplace with some drunken guy slaughtering a song.. Bad singing kills good music. Serioulsy, stick to impersonating Curt Cobain and let people that can sing make life better for the rest of us.
