Ariel Pink is releasing a new album, Dedicated to Bobby Jameson, on September 15 via Mexican Summer. Previously he shared the album’s first single, “Another Weekend,” as well as a video for the song, which was followed by “Time to Live” and the dreamy “Feels Like Heaven” (which was one of our Songs of the Week). Now “Feels Like Heaven” has a video. Pete G.D. directed the retro looking clip, which was produced by the online radio station NTS and shot in London. It features Ariel Pink singing the song against hazy and cloudy backgrounds, sometimes on a bed, sometimes while he’s on his cell phone. Watch it below, followed by his upcoming tour dates.

Pick up our current print issue (Summer 2017) to read our new joint interview between Ariel Pink and Slowdive’s Neil Halstead.

Dedicated to Bobby Jameson‘s title is in reference to a real-life Los Angeles musician who was long thought dead, but who resurfaced online in 2007 after a 35-year gap to write his autobiography and “tragic life story in a series of blogs and YouTube tirades,” as a previous press release put it. As Pink said in the previous press release: “His book and life resonated with me to such a degree that I felt a need to dedicate my latest record to him.” Jameson died in 2015.

Ariel Pink’s last few full-length albums came out on 4AD, including his most recent one, 2014’s pom pom, although his last release was the Myths 002 EP back in January, a collaboration with Weyes Blood that was also released by Mexican Summer.
