Ariel Pink is prepping a new album, “Dedicated to Bobby Jameson”, the third under his own name and first since 2014’s Pom Pom. The second single, “Time to Live,” feature’s a big ‘80s beat and scrapes of lo-fi vocals beneath treacherous waves of synth noise. When the chorus emerges, it’s a burst of sudden clarity for Pink, whose Ian-Curtis-meets-Jay Reatard baritone grounds the proceedings: “We must be vigilant when struggling in this world / you cannot die you have to live, that’s what it’s for.”
