}}The Doldrums is the second album by American recording artist Ariel Pink, self-released in 2000. It is the first album credited to his solo music project, "Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti", and the second installment in his Haunted Graffiti series. On October 11, 2004, the album was reissued by the independent label Paw Tracks, owned by the music group Animal Collective. It received critical praise following its reissue, and has since been recognized for its influence on subsequent lo-fi acts.[3]

Background

According to LA Weekly, The Doldrums was recorded during Pink's final semester at CalArts, in which time he was "in the throes of a drug binge".[4] "I'm sure those were my words," he later said. "I don’t know. It was fine. I had a typical art school experience, I suppose, if you consider getting drunk at openings, partying with your 'teachers,' and shrugging off scholastic duties as often as possible as something typical of college experience."[5] For final examinations, he submitted a "kiosk where I was selling The Doldrums on CD. That was my art piece."[6]

The album was originally issued in 2000 in CD-R format, copies of which were handmade by Pink himself.[7] One such copy was passed on by Pink to the band Animal Collective, who found the copy on their tour van floor and, impressed by its music, later contacted Pink and offered to re-issue it on their own Paw Tracks label.[7][10] The Doldrums was subsequently re-issued on October 11, 2004 by Paw Tracks as the first of a series of re-issues of Haunted Graffiti albums by the label.[8]

Critic Simon Reynolds named the album among his favorite records of the decade.[15] Spin called it "a lo-fi masterpiece."[12] AllMusic called it "one of the most wonderfully skewed takes on classic pop you're likely to hear."[9] Uncut wrote that Pink's songs' "range, volatility and Simulaneist overload sounds like The Beatles circa 1967, The Human League, FM radio's Hall Of Fame, Phil Spector, Tiny Tim and the great R. Stevie Moore all frolicking at once in an acid bath in his own head."[14] Pitchfork{{'}}s Nick Sylvester was less impressed: "The songs are secondary to Pink's bourgeoning cult of personality-- the album turns its imperfections into selling points, its pigheadedness into firm resolve. ... we understand the supposed appeal of The Doldrums: These are normal songs, except a 'crazy' guy is singing them, and he has 'crazy' lo-fi production."[11]
