MP3: Negativland – “Richard Nixon Died Today” from Thigmotactic, out July 15.

Thigomatic is Negativland‘s first “song-based” album in its 28-year history. According to the press release, “The fifteen songs and two instrumentals were written, composed and performed by Negativland’s Mark Hosler, with contributions from the rest of the group, and with well-known San Francisco noisemaker Thomas Dimuzio contributing lots of rather unexpectedly normal sounding instruments, arrangements and production.”
