ARIEL PINK Premieres ‘Picture Me Gone’ Video

Reveals European Tour Dates For 2015

“I backed up all my pictures on my iCloud so you can’t see me when I die.
I left my body somewhere in Mexico, give Find My iPhone app a try.
Let’s make a toast to glory days when you were 8 and I was only 45.
I dedicate this selfie to the little guy who will outlast me when I’m done.”

Ariel Pink has revealed the video for ‘Picture Me Gone’, a heartfelt highlight from his forthcoming album, pom pom.

Following in the footsteps of ‘Put Your Number In My Phone.’, Ariel has again joined forces with director Grant Singer. Shot across fifteen locations around Ariel’s home city of Los Angeles, the video features the characters Pam, Candace and Heather squeezing into their second lives within a latex skin, in pursuit of sexual encounters and inner content. One of the characters wears a latex mask of Ariel’s face, moulded by Hollywood SFX supremo Jeff Farley.

Introducing ‘Picture Me Gone’, Grant Singer say the video “follows a day in the life of three men in Los Angeles in their search of meaning and happiness.”
