A Is For Ariel Pink

After months of research, Steve and Doug return to examine the full(ish) career of Ariel Pink in all his incarnations! Often hailed as a forefather of hypnogagic pop, Pink has dabbled in beach rock, lo fi, shoegaze, and experimental rock. The fellas also wax on evolution of sound, fostering a reputation, cancel culture, and the Death of the Author.

Music featured this week:
Diaper Duty - Never Made A Demo, Ever
Round And Round - Before Today
For Kate I Wait - The Doldrums
Kitchen Witch - Dedicated To Bobby Jameson
