"Round and Round" is a song by the American hypnagogic pop band Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. The song is the fifth track of Haunted Graffiti's debut album on 4AD, Before Today, and was released as a double A-side on April 26, 2010. Pitchfork Media placed the track at number one on "The Top 100 Tracks of 2010"[4] and number two on The 200 Best Tracks of the Decade So Far (2010-2014).[5] The Atlantic's Llewellyn Hinkes-Jones describes the song's styles ranging "from King Sunny Ade afropop to Holland-era Beach Boys with elements of musique concrete dropped in here and there."[3]
Guitarist Cole M. Greif-Neill remembered : "[It] was like two songs in one. We wrote new parts and rearranged it in a total ramshackle way into a very-not-cohesive song."[6]
