Gang Of Four have announced details of their brand new album - a first for the band in 16 years.

The album 'Content', due out January 2, reunites founding members Jon King and Andy Gill, as well as Thomas McNeice and Mark Heaney.

Speaking about the new album, King said: "What we're trying to do is keep it totally stripped down, where everyone in the band makes an equally intense contribution."

New tracks include 'Who Am I?', 'You Don't Have To Be Mad', 'I Can't Forget Your Lonely Face' and 'I Party All The Time'.

The album will be available on a standard CD release and on vinyl, as well as a limited edition Ultimate Content Can which contains six booklets.
