Gang of Four bassist Dave Allen has lodged a couple of the seminal act’s new demos online as he plans for a musical future without the album.
According to recent posts on Allen’s ‘pampelmoose’ ‘blog [sic], the album as a concept “is over”; Allen going so far as to draw up an action plan for the methods of release for new material in the post-album age.
Read those ruminations here; get new songs - ‘Second Life’ and ‘Password’ - there and there.
New tracks ‘Faking It’ and ‘American Man’ will be posted, Allen says, next week.

oooohhh,
how daringly avant-garde. I think he's entirely wrong, though.
My arse.
What a horribly pessimistic and exaggerated outlook.
Ooooh,
'the album as a concept is over.'
Better stop buying them then.
And their new stuff'll be shit. Hence why they don't wish to make an album full of it.
don't you mean gang of 4 do a radiohead?
