Last year, Ariel Pink cut a record titled Trick or Treat with shape-shifting psychedelic savants Vas Deferens Organization under the moniker Shits & Giggles. It probably slipped under your radar, but it's worth digging for if you want to get a taste of Señor Pink's weirder, more hallucinogenic inclinations.

Now the pairing yields another release, the Ariel Pink With Added Pizzazz 12" EP (out July 9 on Free Dope and Fucking in the Streets Records, but only obtainable during Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti summer tour, which hits Seattle July 13 at Neumos). You can sample a sliver of that collaboration with the song "In the Heat of the NIght" here. The record was produced by VDO, which guarantees it a bizarre, hyperreal sheen. (By the way, scoop up anything you can find by VDO and their satellite projects like Sound, Jalopy, and Muz, especially if you dig the artists on the Nurse With Wound list.)
