Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti 5 gets a reissue on Paw Tracks after being originally issued as a double CD with Loverboy on Ballbearings Pinatas in September 2002. This is a one man band type thing with all drums, vocals, keyboards, acoustic and electric guitars being played by the man himself and recorded onto 8 track Cassette. Very clever he is. Good old fashioned 60's style pop music that's a little warped and Lo-Fi sounding. Interesting stuff.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Think you’ve heard enough Ariel Pink? Well our favorite omnivorous media junkie from LA still has a few tricks left up his sleeve… like the left-of-center “House Arrest.” Sure “The Doldrums” and “Worn Copy” had some hits and humdingers on them, but “House Arrest” never lets up. It’s hit after hit after hit. Sorta like if you listened to your friend’s boom box mix tape from Top 40 radio around 1985. Some people might think that sounds like a recipe for disaster. We say bring on the Doritos.
