Ariel Pink‘s pom pom comes out November 17. Pink recently sat for an interview with The Guardian in which he addressed Grimes‘ recent twitter comment about the “delusional misogyny” she thought he exercised in discussing Madonna‘s body of work.

According to The Guardian:

I ask about his latest misadventure, in which he revealed he had been invited to write potential material for Madonna’s new album. His assessment of her “downward slide” was jumped on by Grimes, who blasted his “delusional misogyny” on Twitter. “What an amazing promotional campaign this is,” he chuckles. “I was only repeating what Interscope told me about why they needed me. They’re not my opinions. It’s clickbait journalism. The media lies to us all the time, and we always believe the media. Then Grimes – who’s completely stupid and retarded to believe any of it – jumps in and has her two cents. I’m not a misogynist. Maybe she’s angry that I’m the male version of her, who was at 4AD before her.”
