Ariel Pink

An unabashed fan of lo-fi techniques, Los Angeles-based artist Ariel Pink has explored the far reaches of cheap recordings. He released his first album in 2002 and has since managed to become one of the flag bearers of the bedroom lo-fi genre. Though his notoriety might seem small, there is a rabid lot of fans who consider Pink to be a demi-god who can do no wrong when it comes to cranking out sonic compositions. While he certainly strives for a unpolished aesthetic, Pink is actually a remarkably talented multi-instrumentalist, though opts to have his backing band, The Haunted Graffiti, fully realize his well-crafted work.
