White Satan is set to release his debut album with Farm Toad, wolf, on May 30, 2026 with the performance at The Black Monarch in Victor Colorado with master Theremin player Victoria Lundy as a guest. Whether or not White Satan is a lampoon of a sinister Gothic Americana figure and/or pure performance art with great craft and execution behind it, he is nevertheless a “Denver Country Doom Rebel” and for the new album he and collaborators Gregory Hill, Maureen Hearty (both of Farm Toad) and Kim 9 chose to re-imagine country and pop classics of yesteryear into subversive and often unsettling forms. The darkly pastoral renditions include vocals that are not merely spoken word but a kind of performance art that uses the voice as a means of projecting a different mood and perhaps emotional intention with the source material. With covers of “Some Velvet Morning” (Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra), “She Thinks I Still Care” (George Jones), “Wichita Lineman” (Glen Campbell), “Hello I’m a Jukebox” (George Kent) “Hello It’s Me” (Todd Rundgren) it’s also a bit of an homage to a tradition in pop music of an interpretation and putting one’s unique stamp on the song and making it one’s own. White Satan has in the works a heavier album on he way but for now you can witness the brilliant weirdness for yourself live and perhaps pick up a CD of the album.
