Ariel Pink and his Haunted Graffitis have NOT broken up, as rumored by the Pink himself on his Facebook. They HAVE collab'd with fellow LA outsider, Dam-Funk, on a cover of Donnie & Joe Emerson's "Baby", which is to be the first single from APHG's upcoming LP, Mature Themes. Ariel on the new album: "Sonically, it's comparable (to Before Today)...There are definitely not any links to my lo-fi origins. It's so diverse but so different from anything I've done before. In a sense, it's really the record I wanted to make back when I made Before Today, but couldn't due to pressures and different factors. We had time to let our hair down and try new things." (Literally, he and Dam are ready for Locks of Love, and I wanna see the little girls that get to reap the benefits.)
As if that weren't enough, these two will be touring together this fall. Check 4AD for dates. Salt Lakers can catch them at Urban Lounge on Sep. 25th with none other than the great James Ferraro. This will be a must see, so be sure to get all your homework done the night before. Mature Themes is out Aug. 21st on 4AD.
