The album marked Pink's debut on the record label 4AD.[5][6] It was his first official LP of new recordings since 2003's Worn Copy and his first written and recorded with a supporting band, referred to in the liner notes as "Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti". The album was critically acclaimed upon release, with Pitchfork placing the album at #9 on its list of "The Top 50 Albums of 2010".[7] Lead single "Round and Round" was also ranked by Pitchfork as the best track of 2010.[8] CompositionThe album's opening track, "Hot Body Rub" previously appeared (in an alternative version) on an EP Ariel Pink with Added Pizzazz, which was a collaboration between Vas Deferens Organization (as producers) and Ariel Pink who are friends to each other. VDO provided production for this track, as well as thanks to one of its members, Eric Lumbleau, Pink made friends with Gonzales family who appeared on it.[9] The album contains several homages to vintage rock and roll songs, such as "Bright Lit Blue Skies" which was originally recorded by the Rockin' Ramrods in 1966, and "Beverly Kills," which draws heavily on Ago's 1982 track "For You." "Reminiscences" is an instrumental cover of an Ethiopian pop song, "I Remember a Man" by Yeshimebet Dubale.{{cn|date=January 2017}} Critical reception and legacy{{Album ratings| MC = 85/100[10] | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{rating|4|5}}[11] | rev2 = The A.V.

The album placed seventh in The Wire{{'}}s annual critics' poll.[22] As of 2011, it has sold 25,942 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[23] Track listing{{Track listing| collapsed = no | headline = | all_writing = | total_length = 44:48 | title1 = Hot Body Rub | length1 = 2:26 | title2 = Bright Lit Blue Skies | length2 = 2:25 | title3 = L'estat (Acc. to the Widow's Maid) | length3 = 4:26 | title4 = Fright Night (Nevermore) | length4 = 3:35 | title5 = Round and Round | length5 = 5:08 | title6 = Beverly Kills | length6 = 3:56 | title7 = Butt-House Blondies | length7 = 3:27 | title8 = Little Wig | length8 = 5:46 | title9 = Can't Hear My Eyes | length9 = 3:19 | title10 = Reminiscences | length10 = 2:34 | title11 = Menopause Man | length11 = 4:00 | title12 = Revolution's a Lie | length12 = 3:49 }} Personnel
