Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti: "Baby" F. DaM-FunK (Donnie And Joe Emerson Cover)

Just yesterday Southern California weirdos Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti announced the schedule for their summer tour. Now the band has officially announced the reason for the trek: a new full-length entitled Mature Themes. The follow-up to 2010’s Before Today is due out August 21 via 4AD.

Mature Themes’ first single is, oddly enough, a cover. With guest vocals from tourmate DaM-FunK, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti gives a smooth, sultry rendition of Donnie and Joe Emerson’s 1979 soul ballad “Baby.” The 12” single for “Baby” is due out on July 9 via 4AD.
