Ariel Pink is an American musician, singer, and songwriter known for pioneering the lo-fi and hypnagogic pop movements. Emerging from Los Angeles in the early 2000s, he gained attention with his home-recorded albums released through Animal Collective’s Paw Tracks label, later achieving broader recognition with *Before Today* (2010) and *Pom Pom* (2014). Blending nostalgia-soaked melodies, experimental production, and eccentric pop sensibilities, Ariel Pink’s work has influenced a generation of indie artists and continues to blur the lines between past and present in contemporary music.
