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. Now he has shared another song from it, “Time to Live,” which a press release fittingly compares to The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star” and says that the song “promotes survival as a form of resistance.” Listen below.

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.
