Thurston Moore and Bernie Sanders have collaborated on a new track called Feel It in Your Guts. The track, which will be released by Joyful Noise Recordings, has been described by the label as “a 12-string acoustic composition mixed in with snippets of Sanders’ speeches”.

The single will be realised as a limited edition run of 1,000 hand-numbered white flexi-disc vinyl records as well as a digital download. The single will be available for free to anyone who makes a direct contribution to the Sanders campaign, with the label suggesting fans donate $27 (£19).

The speech snippets are reported to touch on topics such as economic inequality, social justice and human rights. In a statement, Joyful Noise said: “We at the label were inspired to support the Sanders campaign, and we thought it would be best to use our curatorial talents to this end. Being a weird-o indie rock record label, we are fortunate to work with a variety of incredible musicians; including, on occasion, the great Thurston Moore. So we decided to ask him. And we were delighted that in a matter of minutes after posing the idea, Thurston excitedly agreed.”
