ARIEL PINK

For me, part of this album’s charm is that it doesn’t quite seem sure of what it wants to be.
And here, that fact is to the record’s advantage.
Sunshine #psychedelic pop, #lofi , bubble gum rock, #newwave , bizarre #artrock - it’s kind of all over the place.
At times, it’s a little goofy and OVERLY bizarre (see “White Freckles”), but before you complain, it’s on to something completely different and out of nowhere.
On whole, it’s strange, colorful and eccentric, & a hell of a lot of fun.
All that being said…
It’s too bad he’s a raging moronic fucking douche bag. Being a very creative person doesn’t give you license to be a remarkable twat, which he is.
His non-sensical spew pretty much cost him his career, and probably rightfully so.
Some people just can’t get out of their own way.
But I still like this record.
