Ariel Pink's Lover Boy is an album that I suppose doesn't mean anything specifically. You can listen it.. and sure it's lo fi but there are musicians out there who may focus on the technicality and production side of the music being rehearsed but there are also other musicians who want to go past the sphere of music for the sake of being musical. Its easy accepting music like this because its unoffensive and people like it. I'm not reducing the music that you listen to is a worthless piece of crap. I'm saying that there is things that we see today and especially in the music industry, that music is just built on what we've seen on T.V. or listened to or have read in history books. Music in my mind should also incorporate experience, dreams, feelings, stories.
Explore a world that you peer into, past your reality and delve into the black waters of Hyper-consciousness and/or the dreamworld and sometimes they combine when your playing or creating. This doesnt lie in the lyrics or the music. I think it lies in the sounds. The novel. The sounds. I think in a way this should be taught. Some people need to be guided into being honest within their music, once you can be totally honest and free in your own music. Then you make wonders and enjoy having days of pure extascy just enjoying what you create and knowing that your song, your personal song is being released out into the open.
Loverboy is a wonderful magical journey into dream and adventure. Superb album. In some ways very similar to Mothers of Invention - We're only in it for the money.
Three of my favorite tracks so far have been..
-So glad
-Phoebust Palast
-Hobbie's Galore
