Song of the Week: "Round and Round" by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti



Part Animal Collective, part Beck, part 70s New York porno-funk, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti are distinct, to say the least. As they continue to garner more and more attention and accolades, it is becoming increasingly difficult not to listen them. To further compound this,, here is a track off their most recent album, Before Today, titled "Round and Round". Starting off with a quirky off beat funk riff, the song seems to wander in and out of, and side to side of a coherent stream; but its a fun stroll. As the lyrics and Pink's vocals seem to become ever more lost and disoriented, he eventually finds his direction; and we are treated to an epic yet strangely soothing and comforting chorus. Give it a listen.
