Album Notes & Community Reviews

'pom pom' is a sprawling double album that serves as the definitive statement of Ariel Pink's bizarre, lo-fi genius. Moving between catchy novelty pop, gothic gloom, and Zappa-esque absurdity, the album is a kaleidoscopic tour of pop history's trashiest and most sublime moments. It is provocative, melodic, and deeply weird, cementing Pink's status as the godfather of hypnagogic pop.
