Post-punk legends Gang of Four today debuted the music video for “England’s In My Bones,” one of two songs featuring Alison Mosshart of The Kills and The Dead Weather appearing on the band’s forthcoming album. You can watch the clip below.
The album, What Happens Next, is due out Feb. 24 in North American and March 2 in Europe, and is written and produced by Andy Gill, the band’s sole original member. The band will embark on a 16-date North American tour next month.

I was skeptical of “Gang of One” but this song is pretty good. It doesn’t hurt that Alison Mosshart is fantastic. I’ll definitely give their new album a shot.
I was skeptical but this is great!
Well that was total rubbish and Alison Mosshart doin her boring confused lyrics by numbers delivery.
Where’s the Gang of Four ?
What’s good about Mossheart.
Trash.
Absent Jon King, this might actually be the way forward. Different vocalists on each track or a stable of two or three across the record, kind of the Zero 7 approach. It could work.
I’m not sure about continuing to trade on the Gang of Four name and legacy, but that was already badly sullied decades ago by the ill-advised nightmare that was “Hard.” (Although I think “Mall” from 1991 redeemed them quite a bit.)
ps. I rather like this song.
