Riff: Ariel Pink – “Put Your Number in My Phone”

Sep 12, 2014

There’s magic in the air/The night sky lit your face like a mystery left uncovered/Talk to me, it’s now or never, babe/Make believe, I last forever, babe/Come for tea, I’ll be your neighbor

from Put Your Number in My Phone lyrics by Ariel Pink

Delicate and lo-fi, just the place for a throwback singer to find peace. The message is simple and clean, almost reminiscent of some early Beach Boys or later Brain Wilson material. The soft elements help add a fleeting air of innocence, which makes it the perfect song to usher in the fall season.
