This is Why They Call Him "Loverboy"

As promised, here is a hard-to-find Ariel Pink release, and overall one of my favorites of his - Loverboy, in the last moment I can listen to his music for about 24 hours (as I do follow that vital rule of rock.

This album is perhaps his most electronic and has some of his most catchy and unique moments. Really, this is a great step two with Pink, preferably after House Arrest (the two were actually packaged together int he original self-release). The title track is a catchy little number, his cover of R. Stevie Moore's "Hobbies Galore" bests the original, "So Glad" is a perfect cheesy 80s ballad with an intro that tops Alphaville's "Forever Young", and "New Trumpets of Time" is completely unlike any other Ariel Pink track you'll ever hear.

As intimidating as some of his albums not released by Paw Tracks can be, this one is quite pleasant and I think great surpasses his widely released Scared Famous. This is a perfect find for anyone looking for more Pink.
