Gang of Four have released a new song, Ivanka (Things You Can’t Have).
The track, which was co-produced by guitarist Andy Gill and Ben Hillier, is the second from the band's forthcoming 'Complicit' EP, which is set to arrive this Friday. Speaking about the track, Gill said:
“It would’ve been easy to be extremely damning about Donald Trump and of course, like everyone else, I could have called him all kinds of names. What drew me to this subject at all was the running commentary from Ivanka in the earlier stages of this administration - it was fascinating to get a kind of explanation or justification from the daughter who had already been given an official position within the White House. And frankly, a lot of it was pretty funny. But although the characters in the Trump family are interesting, it’s more the ideologies and politics which they represent and enable which need describing."
The full length follow up to 2015's 'What Happens Next' is set to arrive this summer.
