Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Round & Round from Delo Creative on Vimeo.
I have extremely mixed feelings about Ariel Pink, as expressed in my review of this year's much beloved "Before Today", but I have to admit he came closer to realizing his potential this year more than ever before. Several of the tracks on "Before Today," like "Round and Round," ended up being addictive pop gems that couldn't be denied, 70s schmaltz and all. There was something sincere about "Round and Round" that cut down the distance between Ariel and the rest of us in a way that was endearing, while still maintaining a solid too cool for school vibe throughout. It was infectious. Even a curmudgeon like me, who long ago wrote Ariel off, ended up falling under his spell despite my better judgment.
