mp3: New Ariel Pink - Round and Round

LA Hip Dude Ariel Pink and his Haunted Graffiti have a new album coming out on 4AD, called Before Tonight.



I never gave Ariel much of a listen and I admit here and now I've totally ignored the HG, but this song definitely finds me all turned around on that subject. Granted, this is a decidedly higher-fi Ariel Pink than we're used to hearing, but the AM gold-gloss suits the R&B grooviness of the tune well.
