No, you did not just see the latest work courtesy of the Cream's in-house photoshop artiste, D. Ricky Rodriguez. The image above that just made you lose your lunch is indeed the real album artwork for Soundgarden’s forthcoming release, Telephantasm. Unlike the misplaced irony behind the
cover for Weezer’s next strike against their own dwindling legacy, Hurley, it appears as though Soundgarden approved such a design in earnest. I mean, nothing says a band’s for real like a wise, stern K-9. It seriously looks like a band-sponsored fan club contest to design the telephantasmic cover resulted in a 10-way tie — a problem they solved by using morphing software to hybridize the winning entries, resulting in an image that looks like White Fang meets Goodnight Moon meets The Road Warrior meets your Mammaw’s moon wolf shirt.
