A recent Guardian Guide feature couldn't get enough of Ariel Pink – and we agree. His brilliant album Before Today made our top 10 albums of 2010, and now he's back with a follow-up entitled Mature Themes.
His ninth official release, Mature Themes sees the man the Guardian praised as a "hyper-intelligent, pot-bellied, beady-eyed, apple-bong-smoking composer from Beverly Hills" finding his pop side – the title track and Only in My Dreams both have a delightful jangle. But for fans of Pink's more leftfield leanings there are still tracks as detuned and downright strange as Schnitzel Boogie, which features someone making fast food orders.
We love it, but what do you think? Have a listen using the player embedded above and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
