Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti’s track ‘Round and Round‘ is my favourite track of 2010, and Ariel Pink is a hero, period.
But check out this fantastic remix by Tourist – of ‘Jupiter‘ and ‘Placid Acid‘ fame – of the signature track. Managing to give me the same exhilarated feeling I had when I first heard the original. That, I think, is when a remix succeeds.
And while you’re at it, check out the other remixes by Tourist too. All of them bright, big-gestured, upbeat electronic gems, with lots of synthesizer love.
- edit: And while you’re at that, check out ‘Fires‘ by Tourist too. Hypnotic track.
Everyone’s favorite divisive freak folk/lo-fi/trash pop/bedroom artist Ariel Pink dropped, a couple of days ago on September 11, an epic 16-minute track that was first written and recorded a decade ago. So consider this Ariel Pink’s tribute to 9/11.
This once again psychedelic, synth-heavy and pop-fuzzy track, full of warm melodies, rocks from the minute it starts, and so does the video accompanying it. Directed by Ariel Pink himself, it consists of footage of a lot of different things, mostly images of the past decade (Afghanistan, terrorism) and 1980s retro stuff. It starts with Ariel Pink watching television, and that somehow reminds me of David Cronenberg’s Videodrome.
