Ariel Pink is one of the more intriguing characters to emerge recently from the music blogosphere recently. You would think that he might take it easy after releasing and touring his most popular album to date, but he is coming back around already, and this time with Added Pizzazz. His new EP will be dropping on July 9^th, and it will feature the lo-fi jazz band Added Pizzazz instead of his regular backing band Haunted Graffiti. Maybe this shouldn’t be any surprise though, because Ariel Pink used to be the king of the basement when it came to eerie lo-fi rock and roll. He wrote and recorded all his own music, playing every instrument and forcing himself to pick up a different backing band in each city while touring. Sounds like a huge pain. Maybe that’s why he is so capable of shifting gears with a new crew and making something that sounds much different than the album Before Today, which was released this month and has been the most successful and accessible album of his to date.
