Post-punk pioneers Gang of Four have launched a stream of their first album of original material in 16 years. The record is titled Content and is due out January 25, 2011 via Yep Roc. The album will be available in a standard CD release and on vinyl. It will also be available in the Ultimate Content Can - this contains the new album on CD, a book version of an art piece Jon and Andy have done on ceramic tiles depicting the last 40 years of world history, a book of lyrics, a book of Rotoscoped photographs of the band's emotions, phials of band members' blood and a scratch and sniff booklet which reflects the key areas of human activity.

Check it out via NPR. Just watch out for the sad lonely saxophone.
