Ariel Pink’s Pathway To Perversion

Pom pom is the new LP from Ariel Pink aka Ariel Marcus Rosenberg.  Containing 17 tracks and a run time of 69 minutes, the disc is described as a collection of “infectious tales of romance, murder, frog princes and Jell-O.” 

The album’s latest single is the new wave-ish “Black Ballerina.”

Ariel Pink and his new seven-person band will perform at London’s Scala Nov. 17, the same day pom pom arrives in stores.  He returns to his Southern California stomping grounds for a gig at Los Angeles’ Regent Theater Nov. 28.  However, the real touring action begins in late January with a run through Australia, followed by shows in the U.S. and Canada.
