Ariel Pink is a songwriter and recording artist from Los Angeles.

He is a prodigal voice who has been widely released on alternative labels worldwide, including the hallowed 4AD. His serendipitous home studio techniques have become symbolic to a generation of young people who consider themselves the alternative to alternative.

In spite of all the attention garnered by his working methods, it is his inventive songwriting, sincerity, wit, and seemingly limitless vocabulary of pop idioms that creates the fervent connection experienced between him and his audience.

He is a founding member of Human Ear, and has headlined a number of its projects. Human Ear currently houses a large collection of his archives. Most recently, he is a co-curator of Exquisite Corpse Tapes.
