Music Video: Ariel Aparicio – Pretty In Pink (remixed by Pocketknife)
I received an email reminder today about this video from Brooklyn indie-rock artist, Ariel Aparicio; it's a cover of the Psychedlic Furs punk classic Pretty In Pink. The original rock number featured on his latest album, All These Brillian Things, is a beautiful ode to a friend stricken with cancer. Pocketknife turned that sweet, melodic version into a synthetic house number with a noticeably darker, yet resonant flavor. Ariel's guitarist from his back up band provided a few licks, while Pocketknife laid down sublime, moody electronic instrumentation.
