Aging SoCal rock pioneers the Red Hot Chili Peppers have teamed up with British artist Damien Hirst for the cover of their new album, I'm With You. Yes, RHCP are coming out with a new album despite being officially middle-aged. It's coming August 30.

Hirst, the most important of the 1990s-era "YBAs" (Young British Artists), is famous for semi-shocking works like a dead tiger shark embalmed in fluid and glitter-encrusted human skulls. He seems to have toned it down a bit for this effort. It looks like an amalgamation of the medicine cabinet sculptures from Hirst's early career and the later dead fly paintings. Compared to other RHCP album covers, it's quite clinical and minimalist. Will it have the same teenage bedroom adornment potential as By the Way or Blood Sugar Sex Magik? Only time -- and possibly the art market -- will tell.
