Mexican Summer were due to release the third and fourth instalment of Ariel Pink's Ariel Archives series later this month. It's currently unclear if Mexican Summer will still release it.

Ariel Pink was spotted at last week's pro-Trump protest/riot in Capitol Hill with John Maus and filmmaker Alex Lee Moyer, who posted a picture of the three of them at a hotel via her Instagram, writing, "the day we almost died but instead had a great time."

The musician revealed via Twitter last week that he attended the Capitol Hill protests to "peacefully show my support for the president. I attended the rally on the white house lawn and went back to hotel and took a nap. Case closed."
