Mistletone

Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti have created some of this decade’s most intoxicating music, including the year’s most irresistible indie hit single Round and Round from Before Today (one of the most acclaimed albums of 2010). Led by reclusive pop prankster Ariel Rosenberg, the West Coast act’s sound is as sublime as it is surreal; loaded with hazy nostalgia and a fiercely experimental pop palette.

From the Haunted Graffiti series of home recorded albums, to the current incarnation of the touring band featuring characters from the underground LA scene, Ariel Pink has established himself as one of the most prolific songwriters and incredible talents of his generation. A true original who has traversed dizzying territory from cult figure to godfather of American indie in just five years, Arlel Pink’s influence on the new crop of bands and genres has been profound.

Mistletone toured Ariel Pink with an Australian backing band in 2006 and now we’re bringing Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti to Australia & New Zealand for Laneway Festival 2011 plus headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne. Mistletone’s first ever release was House Arrest by Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti (MIST001, 2006). Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti have since signed to 4AD and their amazing album Before Today is locally released through Remote Control.
