Ariel Pink is showing off a new track from his forthcoming record pom pom, called "Black Ballerina".
Aping '80s-synthpop almost perfectly and adding a dollop of his own frenetic strangisms, Ariel Pink is set to whip up the LP-awaiters into a frenzy.
It also includes the whimpered line "I like your areolas, baby..."
Listen to the track below.
pom pom is out 17 November on 4AD.
