Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti Music Video: Mistaken Wedding
Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti has made some pretty weird videos in the past but this one is just plain silly. The video for, “Mistaken Wedding,” which is the b-side to the single “Round and Round,” looks like a typical and quite boring video of a Jewish wedding. That is until Pink is superimposed throughout the rest of the video like a random stamp. At times he looks bored lip-syncing along to the lyrics but at other times, he seems quite delighted to be there when he smiles for no apparent reason. Sometimes he’s chain smoking and sometimes he’s just looking at you through a pair of bright-colored sunglasses. It’s definitely not what I expected for the track but it’s amusing once you stop wondering if this is really a karaoke video or not.
In other Ariel Pink news, Pink and his Haunted Graffiti recently did a cover of R. Stevie Moore’s “She Don’t Know What To Do With Herself” for a compilation titled “Copy Me, Treat Me” which is also a free download. You can watch the “Mistaken Wedding” video and grab the R. Stevie Moore cover after the jump.
Ariel Pink’s Haunted Grafitti: Round and Round
Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti has gained a cult following since Pink (aka Ariel Marcus Rosenberg) started making his psychedelic pop music in 2004. The music he provides with Haunted Graffiti often includes many layers in both instrumental and vocal melody.
The latest and first song Pink is offering through his new label, 4AD, is “Round and Round” and it’s nothing but a feel-good song which is exactly why I love it. You can stream it below after the jump. If you like what you hear, it’s being offered only as a limited 7″ and digital single for a short time after April 26th. However, if you join Ariel Pink’s mailing list here, you can grab the mp3 now.
