LA’s king of pop perversion, Ariel Pink, returns with a second offering from his new album pom pom, in the form of new wave-flavoured ‘Black Ballerina’. Spanning 17 tracks and 69 minutes, pom pom is unfiltered Ariel, with infectious tales of romance, murder, frog princes and Jell-O. With the Los Angeles native striking it out alone and returning to the solo moniker he has adopted for well over a decade, pom pom could very well be Ariel Pink’s magnum opus. Ariel will bring his new 7-person strong band of merry men to Australia this summer for a very special appearance at Sugar Mountain Festival in January and has today announced a string of sideshows in Brisbane, Sydney & Perth to support the release of his new record. Ariel’s live performances have been known to be entirely unpredictable and definitely worth seeing.
