Ariel Pink / Crooked Cowboy / Neil Schuh

***What began two years ago as informal jam sessions for ARIEL PINK, NEIL SCHUH and CROOKED COWBOY evolved into a collaborative recording project with one rule to each session: no one was allowed to say no to an idea. Using whatever they could get their hands on to record, they finally went into the studio, and within three sessions the birth of “Cloak & Dagger” emerged. The Los Angeles trio’s satisfaction with the single led them to ask friend, AARON FRANKEL, to remix the track for the B-side. 2012 brought on difficulties for the group when Crooked Cowboy suffered a massive heart attack, delaying the trio’s release. At last, “Cloak & Dagger” is released on LA’s Origami Vinyl. The 7” is limited to a onetime pressing of 500 copies on transparent orange vinyl.
