Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti

Ariel Pink is fucking weird. and also weirdly talented.
This dude has put out over 500 songs on cassette
(which is also the favored format of so many of those
westcoast psychedelic krautrock-ish noisemakers of current times).
That being said, where to start with a deeply musical weirdo, how about a 7"?
A recent discovery of the doctor,
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Can't hear my eyes/Evolution's a lie.
These 2 nuggets represent two very different and very enjoyable aspects of the Ariel Pink Haunted Graffiti experience.
Can't hear my eyes is super loungey,
while evolution's a lie has a rumbling noisy anxious quality.
enjoy!

SUN ARAW

Beach Head is an LP released by Sun Araw in the fall of 2008. Sun Araw is an experimental genre crossing, genre defying band on the not not fun label. www.notnotfun.com for more info. The sound is sorta like Godspeed (less loud and desperate), sorta Jesu-esque (more upbeat and dreamy) sorta like Glenn Branca (not so heavy and strident, more on the meandering tip).
Its complicated. very hazy, very seductive and very anti-linear.
This record is best represented by the featured video for the song "Horse Steppin";
a surfin safari of post apocalyptic zombie jesus freaks. yeah, its like that.

Serge Gainsbourg - Les Annees Psychedeliques 1966 - 1971

For those unfamiliar with the very specific brand of sleaze that serge gainsbourg offers, refer to his best known hit to date, je taime - moi non plus.
Les Annees Psychedeliques is where Serge struts the proto funk/psych jazz border, creating large solid orchestrations of melody, steady backbeats, fiery brass, and sexpot vocals with various female chanteuses. Included with the compilation are bonus beat followups to songs like "requiem pour un con" and "la horse".
