Ariel Pink’s albums/singles have always been on a hit or miss basis with me.  In this particular case the new 4ad single, “Round and Round”, is a dead center bullseye.  Even though i don’t see this bestial artwork as spot-on as the tune itself, I would have to call this one of the smoothest sounds I’ve heard this year thus far.  The full length is still without title and official release date, but this limited single is set for a proper release this April 26th and will, no doubt, spend hours on my phono.

Our previously loved psychedelic friends, Velvet Davenport have just sent over their newest slice of 60’s infused pop. On their recent LA vacay they met up with like minded nostalgists Ariel Pink and Gary War, the resulting “Get Out” is an acid flashback into a more liberal state of mind. This will be the a-side b/w of “Run” which is set for release as a 7″ on, the appropriate, Shdwply Records. Also, check out the free downloads that Velvet Davenport has available at their myspace.

Florida

What a great year in music it has been, all these lo-fi seedlings popping up all around us and making our lives better. With that said, I bring you Florida, not to be confused with those other Florida bands. This Florida incorporates a ghoulish brand of lo-fi pop akin to John Maus and Ariel Pink but not to a point where it becomes bland or insipid, moreso Florida took some of the same influences of David Bowie that John Maus and Ariel Pink did, in that way they are alike. Of course just when I think I’ve pinpointed the bands sound I hear a song full of psychotropic drone, appeasing the John Cale fan in me. This band has a great 7 inch out on Shdwply Records and I most certainly encourage you to purchase it.
