I remember the first time I heard "For Kate I Wait", I played it over and over again. It really made me wait for Kate. I'm not an Ariel Pink historian, but from what I've gathered, he is some guy who has spent nearly half a decade recording some of the best lofi tapes in history.

In other recordings, he uses samples of his dad calling him worthless. He uses a 4Track, and gets some pretty INTERESTING RESULTS. Anyways, you might want to check out his albums if you like these songs. Start out with "Hanted Grafitti" and work your way into "Worn Copy."

MP3: Ariel Pink - Gray Sunset I really like the last 30 seconds of Gray Sunset.
MP3: Ariel Pink - Strange Fires
