Mistletone, FasterLouder and FBi Present the return of LA indie-pop auteur Ariel Pink.

Bringing songs from pom pom, his new psychedelic opus, to life, catch Ariel Pink and his seven piece band of merry men at Oxford Art Factory on TUE JAN 27 with special guest Nick Allbrook (Pond).

pom pom will be released through 4AD/Remote Control on November 14th. Across its 17 tracks and 69 minutes, pom pom is unfiltered Ariel, a pied piper of the absurd, with infectious tales of romance, murder, frog princes and Jell-O. The record sees the Los Angeles native strike it out alone, returning to the solo moniker he has adopted for well over a decade when cementing his name as a king of pop perversion.

From demented kiddie tune collaborations with the legendary Kim Fowley (songs like 'Jell-O' and 'Plastic Raincoats In The Pig Parade' were written with Fowley in his hospital room during his recent battle with cancer), to beatific, windswept pop ('Put Your Number In My Phone', 'Dayzed Inn Daydreams'), scuzz-punk face-melters ('Goth Bomb', 'Negativ Ed'), and carnival dub psychedelia ('Dinosaur Carebears'), pom pom could very well be Ariel Pink's magnum opus.

"Although this is the first "solo" record credited to my name, it is by far the least "solo" record I have ever recorded." - Ariel Pink.

"The go-to influence for a generation of young, obtuse music makers" - PITCHFORK
