Ariel Pink is in the midst of a highly ambitious project wherein he’s reintroducing his fans to years of work prior to his breakout Haunted Graffiti LP Before Today in 2010. Having previously released three records back in October, today he’s announcing the release date for reissues of three albums released between 2002 and 2004: House Arrest, Worn Copy, and The Doldrums.

Along with the news, Pink is sharing a previously unseen video for the hazy Worn Copy single “Crybaby,” an unsurprisingly spooky and lo-fi project that very likely could’ve jeopardized the songwriter’s career as a babysitter had it been released back in 2003. Watch the clip below.

All three albums will be released April 24 via Mexican Summer. For more details on the Archives project, visit the official site here.
