Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - "Only in My Dreams"

Rock and roll weirdo Ariel Pink's new album "Mature Themes" has recently been released, and his first video "Only in My Dreams" is now floating through the interweb. He is a real weirdo, as documented in this Pitchfork feature, and has freaked out and refused to play major gigs like Coachella due to nerves. Luckily he's got his band to back him up. Like many musicians or creative geniuses in general, he walks the sanity line. He had recorded hundreds of lo-fi songs over the years, before one of his homemade CD-Rs made it into the hands of Animal Collective, who liked what they heard and signed him to their label. Ariel Pink's sound is like an alternative take on 60s dream-pop, and is sweetly captured in this new single "Only in my dreams". The VHS style video is also a nifty throwback. Enjoy!
