getting high in the morning
The new Ariel Pink album, it’s sweeeeeet, with that many es. I’m sorry that I went, oh look, ANOTHER Ariel Pink album, upon first receiving it. I mean,yes, it is another Ariel Pink album, but hell, on the strength of this one, I’m quite happy to keep hearing what he has to offer. Still swimming in the sparkly murky waters of the piece I wrote about Martin Rev’s Strangeworld yesterday, and blissed out by the sudden almost-spring sunshine, I’m particularly partial this afternoon to impressionistic, woozy sound; ghost-pop, spirit-bubblegum, codeine-flavoured blanket-psych. S’lovely. Get some. You’ve probably already got some. Get some more. As well as the aforementioned seven-minute-long instant headfuck classic, ‘Getting High In The Morning’, which sounds exactly like what it says it sounds like, there’s a bonus track called ‘Netherlands’ that is super prog and dreamy and goes on for ages and features the Pink singing like a Jim Henson creature.
