Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti

Musical Group

Ariel Pink (Ariel Rosenberg) is an American musician who leads the project Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, known for lo-fi, retro-influenced pop and prolific self-released recordings. Before Today (2010) was a high-profile release on 4AD.

Before Today was released on 4AD in 2010. Reviews consistently note a lo-fi aesthetic and extensive references to 1970s and 1980s pop styles; the project began as Ariel's primarily solo recordings and later expanded into a band for live and collaborative work.

Reviews describe Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti as a prolific lo-fi pop project that traffics in 70s/80s pastiche. Critiques alternate between praise for melodic skill and frustration at heavy stylistic citation. Before Today (2010, 4AD) marked a higher-profile moment while retaining lo-fi aesthetics.

For:Listeners who enjoy lo-fi, retro-tinged indie pop, pastiche of 70s/80s sounds, and experimental pop revivalism.
