After 2010’s Before Today saw Ariel Pink emerge from his lo-fi netherworld to become America’s pre-eminent avant-pop star, Mature Themes furthers his acclimatisation to the spotlight. The album boasts some of his most open-hearted tunes: The title track crosswires a tender ‘70s serenade with Kraftwerkian synths; Only in My Dreams is a sun-dappled gem spit-shined by Byrdsy jangle. But Pink’s increasingly sophisticated songcraft is countered by moments of anarchy: Schnitzel Boogie is indeed a brown-note polka about craving the titular delicacy.

Ariel Pink's last album was a coming out of sorts, a startling take on the hypnagogic pop he helped to invent by mixing faux-retro pastiche with strikingly accurate facsimiles of the sort of '60s pop he's been taking cues from since day on. The vocals on Mature Themes are encased in the same coat of dust that makes reedy voices like Roger McGuinn's sound friendly, even anthemic.
