About Album
"Before Today", which got great reviews from various music press, is a huge leap forward for Ariel Pink. The album contains several homages to vintage rock and roll songs, such as "Bright Lit Blue Skies" which was originally recorded by the Rockin' Ramrods in 1966, and "Beverly Kills," which draws heavily on Ago's 1982 track "For You." "Reminiscences" is an instrumental cover of an Ethopian pop song, "I Remember a Man" by Yeshimebet Dubale.
