Ariel Pink
Dedicated to Bobby Jameson
[Mexican Summer]
Inspired by the autobiographical writings of Bobby Jameson; a story similar to Rodriguez – an underground musician presumed dead for decades only to resurface in an unassuming fashion.
Dedicated to Bobby Jameson is a concept album based on the various tragic stories of impermanence retold by Ariel Pink in a series of synth and drum machine laden melodies.
Ariel Pink’s eleventh record maintains the lo-fi hypnagogic pop hallmarks that garnered praise circa 2010’s Before Today while demonstrating a sonic progression clearly signified in singles, Another Weekend and Time To Live; two songs amidst a plethora of vibrant arrangements.
Words – Zara Hedderman
