The Yellow Martini

By Nathan Payne | pablosmoglives | 30 Apr 2025


Piss Christ is a picture of a crucifix submerged in controversy.  Piss Demons is the alternate title for the original cover art for Everything I Have Is Yours, my only gospel album to date.  The stained background of the photo is so disgusting you can smell it, and the font is like a bunch of spiders suspended in a vat of urinary marmalade.

Horrible.

Piss Demons, 2012

 

I have hated the original cover art of Everything I Have Is Yours for years, so it is with the relief of a thousand suns resting their feet on the embers of a campfire of dead flowers that I present this, which is more pleasing to the eye than the thematically-incongruous "venomous spiders dipped in urine" aesthetic of the original.

Much better.  Download the album on Bandcamp, or visit the YouTube playlist for a sonic tasting.  Just stay away from the yellow martini.  It's true that the ingredients are sourced locally (perhaps too locally), but it's garnished with demons.

Thanks for listening.
