Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Before Today (2010)

if you don't already know Ariel Pink this video serves as a pretty fitting intro:
(and he makes out with half the front row @2:30 so thats pretty rock n roll)

the 'time capsule' sound is almost immediately endearing and reminds me of '68 underwater.
never serious and always sexy (or at least faux-sexy) and full of unabashed pop licks that never sound poppy.
definitely not for everyone but most definitely loved by many!

"Before Today" is Ariel Pink's 'indy-major' label debut for 4AD after numerous self releases and a few through Animal Collective's Paw Tracks label.

Just over a year old but feels like a 'classic' album after the first listen.

tl;dr... sexy, dirty, bedroom pop.
