House Arrest / Lover Boy

by Ariel Pink

House Arrest / Lover Boy cover art

This double-release collection captures the genesis of Ariel Pink's influential hypnagogic pop sound. The music is characterized by lethargic, heavily lo-fi 4-track recordings that distort classic pop melodies and minimal synth arrangements into a surreal, psychedelic haze. It laid the abstract groundwork for the chillwave movement.
