See when we told you about Ariel Pink having some big news? Well here you go.

The lo-fi maverick, whose albums from the mid-period of this decade are established reference points for fans of the lo-fi work of Nite Jewel, Blank Dogs, No Age and more, has signed to indie institution 4AD with a new album planned for early 2010.

Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti will tour the UK next month; those dates can be found here.
