Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, led by Los Angeles native Ariel Rosenberg, is renowned for its eclectic fusion of lo-fi psychedelic pop and 1980s soft rock. Drawing inspiration from artists like Michael Jackson, the Cure, and R. Stevie Moore, Pink began his prolific recording career in the late 1990s, amassing over 200 cassette tapes of material. His early albums, including "The Doldrums" (2000) and "House Arrest" (2002), garnered a cult following upon their re-release by Animal Collective's Paw Tracks label in 2004. The 2010 album "Before Today," featuring the acclaimed single "Round and Round," marked his debut with 4AD and received widespread critical praise.
