Ariel Pink Hits Canada on North American Winter Tour, Shares New Track

BY Alex HudsonPublished Oct 20, 2014

Ariel Pink has an epic-length new album called pom pom due out on November 18 via 4AD, and the prolific pop weirdo is promoting it further by announcing a North American tour and sharing a new track.

The tour won't be taking place until early next year, when Pink will spend February touring around the continent. Most of the dates are in the U.S., as the songwriter will start off on the West Coast before gradually making his way east. Along the way, he will hit Canada for gigs in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.

See the full schedule below.

Scroll past that to listen to the newly unveiled "Black Ballerina" from pom pom. This song has some of the dreamy pop smarts we heard on the previously shared "Put Your Number in My Phone," plus lots of Pink's goofy quirks.

Something tells us, however, that Grimes isn't particularly excited about all that Pink has going on in the next few months. And it appears we shouldn't expect Pink to pop up on Madonna's new album.
