Deer Tick’s new record, Negativity, is out Sept. 24, and its cover art really is quite neat. The band hired a plane to fly around Westerly, Rhode Island trailing a banner containing the title, and shot footage of the melee that ensued. A bunch of dogs are involved, and one of the new tracks off the record, “Big House,” plays in the background. The footage is premiering exclusively today on The A.V. Club, and Negativity is available for pre-order here.
The band is touring this fall, and a full list of dates is below.
