DAILY RECORDS: Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Caves Caverns and The Cure

Posted by: Tony – Jun 14, 2010

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Before Today (4AD)
The brooding, lo-fi psychedelia of Ariel Pink's previous work gets a big sonic upgrade on his latest release, and that upgrade transforms his sound into a still strange but charming blend of sunshine psych and pure 70s AM radio pop. Smooth, delightful technicolor melodies, guaranteed to brighten your day.

Caves Caverns - Communique (soundsfromthepocket.com)
The free-form, instrumental heavy psychedelia that this Richmond band plays on their latest release, a four-song, forty-minute cassette, has many worthy antecedents. Most prominent are Ash Ra Tempel's epic Krautrock space jams and Hawkwind's acid-soaked biker rock. These trippy jams will pry open your third eye.

The Cure - Disintegration (Deluxe Edition) (Rhino Records)
Impossible to explain in this limited space how essential this album is. This reissue, which includes the original album remastered, a disc of demos, and an expanded version of UK-only live album Entreat, is an outstanding reward for longtime fans. If that's not you, get this. It will be.
