MUMBAI: LA's king of pop perversion Ariel Pink returns with his new album 'Pom Pom', with its second offering in the form of new wave-flavoured 'Black Ballerina'.

Spanning 17 tracks and 69 minutes, 'Pom Pom' is unfiltered Ariel, a pied piper of the absurd, with infectious tales of romance, murder, frog princes and Jell-O. With the Los Angeles native striking it out alone and returning to the solo moniker he has adopted for well over a decade, the album could very well be Ariel Pink's magnum opus.

Ariel will bring his new seven-person strong band to perform at London's Scala on the day of the album's UK release – 17 November and announced on 21 October his first 2015 North American tour dates. This tour will conclude with Ariel's biggest NYC headlining show to date, at Terminal 5.

'Pom Pom' is Ariel Pink's third studio album for 4AD, following his Haunted Graffiti releases 'Before Today' (2010) and 'Mature Themes' (2012).
