Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti

ARIEL PINKS HAUNTED GRAFFITI

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti are set to take their quite-possibly-drug-fueled freak show on the road in support of upcoming album Before Today, which comes out June 8 via 4AD. The album features Best New Track "Round and Round".

Los Angeles notorious lo-fi pop oufit Ariel Pinks Haunted Graffiti have been unveiled as the latest signings to 4AD. With roots going back as far as 1996, the West Coast act are as sublime as they are surreal with a sound loaded with hazy nostalgia and a fiercely experimental pop palette. The band (currently comprised of Ariel Pink, Kenny Gilmore, Cole M.G.N., Aaron Sperske and Tim Koh) have picked up particular plaudits for the Haunted Graffiti releases via Paw Tracks, The Doldrums (2004), Worn Copy (2005) and House Arrest (2006).

CHEATAHS

Cheatahs is the one-man bedroom project of the Nathan Ernest Hewitt, and he makes some hazy, guitar-based tunes, such as "Some Powers", which finds the singer mostly unadorned, with feedback and reverb the only backing for his echoed vocals, which are hard to make out but definitely rhyme "suuuun-flower" with "some powers". Cheatahs have a 7" out now on Young and Lost Club, as well as a cassette release on Paradise Vendors. Check out his MySpace for a few more tunes.
