New album, October 2014. Advance orders through negativland.com,ndistributed by Revolver/Midheaven Distribution.nnNegativland's new album, IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD, finds the groupntackling their biggest subject ever: why humans believe in God.nMillennia-in-development, this ambitious and densely-crafted double CDnis packaged inside an actual Holy Bible which has been appropriatelynrepurposed into a "found" art object.nnIT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD intends to entertain, inform, and provoke. Onnthe CDs, Negativland mixes found music, found sound, found dialogue,nguest personalities and original electronic noises into a compellingnand thoughtful musical essay that looks at monotheism, Christianity,nIslam, Judaism, neuroscience, suicide bombers, 9/11, colas, war,nshaved chimps, and the all-important role played by the human brain innour beliefs. Reading the attached Bible is optional.nnnMore about Negativland:nnSince 1980, the 4 or 5 or 6 Floptops known as Negativland, anperformance and recording group based in the San Francisco Bay Area,nhave been creating records, CDs, video, fine art, books, radio andnlive performance using appropriated sounds, images, objects, and text.nMixing original materials and original music with things taken fromncorporately owned mass culture and the world around them, Negativlandnre-arranges these found bits and pieces to make them say and suggestnthings that they never intended to. In doing this kind of culturalnarchaeology and "culture jamming" (a term they coined way back inn1984), Negativland have been sued twice for copyright infringement.nnOver the years Negativland's "illegal" collage and appropriation-basednaudio and visual works have touched on many things - pranks, medianhoaxes, advertising, media literacy, religion, the evolving art ofncollage, the bizarre banality of suburban existence, creativenanti-corporate activism in a media-saturated and multi-national world,nfile sharing, intellectual property issues, wacky surrealism, evolvingnnotions of art and ownership and law in a digital age, and artisticnand humorous observations of mass media and mass culture.nnGET IT HERE:nhttp://www.negativland.com/news/?page_id=592 Less
