Before Today is the breakthrough album by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, released in 2010. Marking his transition from lo-fi bedroom recordings to a full-band studio production, the album blends hypnagogic pop, psychedelic rock, and new wave, creating a surreal yet nostalgic sound. With standout tracks like Round and Round, Beverly Kills, and Bright Lit Blue Skies, the album fuses hazy, retro aesthetics with experimental songwriting. It received widespread acclaim and is considered a defining release in the chillwave and lo-fi pop movements of the early 2010s. Before Today established Ariel Pink as a key figure in underground and alternative music, bridging DIY ethos with high-fidelity production while maintaining his eccentric, genre-bending approach.
