Since breaking through into the mainstream with their last release, the critically-acclaimed 'Before Today,' Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti are set to release their followup album, 'Mature Themes,' on Aug. 21.

The album, Pink's seventh (or tenth, or twelfth, or something -- it's hard to tell with this guy), sees the lo-fi conquistador moving away from his origins as a home recording purist and taking the band into a legitimate recording studio.

After finding success in 2010 with a cover of obscure Massachusetts '60s rockers the Rising Storm ('Bright Lit Blue Skies'), the album's first single -- featuring guest vocals from Dâm-Funk -- catches the band with its hand in the cult-classic bargain bin yet again with a cover of Donnie and Joe Emerson's slow-jamming, super-sincere 'Baby.' (Check out the original, via YouTube, and Haunted Graffiti's cover, via SoundCloud.)
