ARIEL PINK’S HAUNTED GRAFFITI - "ROUND AND ROUND"

The track “Round and Round” is the captivatingly curious single from Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti’s latest influence-spanning release Before Today.  “Round and Round” is a real change-up groove.  Lo-fi vocals and instrumentation set the groove, breaking it up with smooth choruses reminiscent of summers past.  The track retains the best elements of a home-recorded feel, with the lightest of production touches.
 
The DIY cult-character himself Ariel Pink heads-up the group, joined by Tim Koh on base and vocals, Kenny Gilmore or guitars and Aaron Sperske on drums.  Now through October, the LA-based band will be hitting the road and playing a slew of dates across North America.  Check the band’s MySpace page for tour dates (including 24 July in NYC at Irving Plaza).
 
Before Today is out now on 4AD.
