Another Weekend is a masterclass in hauntological pop, sounding like a high-fidelity recreation of a low-fidelity memory. It occupies a strange, liminal space between the 1970s soft rock of 10cc and the modern indie sensibilities of the late 2010s. The production is cleaner than Ariel Pink's earlier bedroom recordings, yet it retains a ghostly, tape-saturated quality that makes the music feel like it is physically decaying as you listen. It is the sound of a neon-lit city seen through a haze of exhaustion and regret.
How does Another Weekend sound next to the rest of Ariel Pink's catalogue?
Melancholic saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
