Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Lover Boy
Review by Katie Larson
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti's album, Lover Boy, is an eclectic mix of psychedelic pop and lo-fi rock that takes listeners on a journey through the mind of the enigmatic artist. The album opens with the dreamy and hypnotic "L'estat (acc. to the widow's maid)," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The haunting vocals and fuzzy guitar riffs create a surreal atmosphere that is both eerie and beautiful.
Tracks like "Fright Night (nevermore)" and "Beverly Kills" showcase Ariel Pink's ability to blend different genres seamlessly, with the former being a haunting ballad that wouldn't be out of place in a horror movie, and the latter being an upbeat, almost danceable tune that is sure to get stuck in your head.
The album's standout track, "Round and Round," is a perfect example of Ariel Pink's unique sound. The song's infectious melody and catchy chorus are accompanied by a lo-fi production that gives the track a vintage feel. It's no wonder that "Round and Round" became one of the most popular songs of 2010.
