The Doldrums

by Ariel Pink

Originally recorded on a cassette multitracker, this album's wider release in 2004 by Animal Collective's Paw Tracks introduced the world to Ariel Pink. 'The Doldrums' is a murkily recorded, brilliantly melodic collection of 70s-style pop through a warped, lo-fi lens. It is a foundational work for the hypnagogic pop movement.
