Ariel Pink’s feverishly wacky new album pom pom is coming out next month, and up until now, the only song we’d heard from it was the slickly strange “Put Your Number In My Phone.” But now Pink has shared the deeply deranged “Black Ballerina,” a song that lets you know just how far he pushes things on this album. “Black Ballerina” sounds like what would happen if Oneohtrix Point Never scored an early Nintendo game, and it includes Pink singing for you to “take your bra and panties off” more than once. There’s also a mid-song comedy skit where the punchline is “I like your aureolas, baby.” Attempt to make sense of this deeply fucked-up song at your own risk. You can hear it and see Pink’s tour dates below.
