Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti – Mature Themes

Released in August 2012 on 4AD, Mature Themes is Ariel Pink’s richly layered pop‑psychedelia LP, recorded with his Haunted Graffiti band.

This album blends nostalgic ’70s AM pop with surreal, whimsical oddities — tracks like “Only in My Dreams” deliver jangly Byrds-like melodies, while “Kinski Assassin” and “Schnitzel Boogie” lean into Pink’s eccentric humour.

Ambitious songwriting and quirky charm. It's a deeply odd yet unmistakably pop‑savvy album.
