Describing a new Ariel Pink track with words like ’strange’ and ’weird’ won’t give away much; it’s business as usual. Still, his new and second teaser of upcoming new LP pom pom, is at least ‘strange’ and ‘weird’ for being a single. The driving heartbeat of “Black Ballerina” is an insisting angular bass line that’s looped throughout its-six minutes – hold for the refrain. On top, it’s near impossible to grasp all of Pink’s different voices and alter egos; it sounds almost like short snippets of random FM radio jingles. But as usual, it’s catchy and damn good.
