An anatomical theme runs throughout Neon Cough’s new album.

The Touchies’ release party for Mess with the Unicorn, Get the Horn happens June 20 at the Casbah, on a bill that includes Dirty Sirens and Chica Diabla. With its first single “Freak Time” now streaming online, the album includes covers of songs by the Jesus and Mary Chain and Saturday-morning TV characters the Banana Splits.

Also out this week is Neon Cough’s New Adventures in Wi-Fi. “The rib cage on the album cover is a reference to the anatomical theme that runs throughout the album,” says main man Dan Luko. “There are songs on there about hearts, brains, lungs, and skulls. The album was built one piece at a time, like Frankenstein’s monster.”
