What a great week this has been. New Magnetic Fields, Ghostface Killah and the Lovely Feathers. Well the hits keep on coming here at You Aint No Picasso… it’s time for a new Gang of Four song!! Dave Allen, GoF’s bassist, posted over on his excellent blog Pampelmoose this new demo along with his thoughts on how the new material will be released:

MP3: Gang of Four – Password (demo)

We are debating, as we do, how we will release the finished goods. Jon King reminds us that our career kick-off was defined by the Damaged Goods EP, a three song, cheaply recorded debut that made a lot of waves in the UK and European press well before we signed to the majors. So how about we start the new round of releases with a 4 song digital EP? Probably. The ‘album’ could then be built over time and released eventually as a CD, but in a compelling, high-value package that makes it valuable to our fans. We have those 4 song ideas as I write and they will be burnished and honed over the next 12 weeks or so. It then makes sense to get them into the hands (and ears) of the public as quickly as possible. Digital makes the most sense along with downloadable artwork, a vinyl record with free MP3s and remixes. And my first choice for remixers would of course be Justice. – Dave Allen, Gang of Four
