The surviving members of Gang of Four pay tribute to their late guitarist and band leader Andy Gill on 'Day Turns to Night'
“I had no intention of it being about him,” Gang of Four vocalist John Sterryof the song. “It just came out that way and also I didn’t intend for it to be released. I often cloak lyrics with ambiguity and this felt too raw. But listening now, I’m glad I wrote it with no thought of where it might go — it’s just a pure distillation of the years I’d spent with Andy and the band.”
Sterry added of “Day Turns to Night,” “It’s the most to-the-point lyric I’ve ever written, there’s no symbolism or ambiguity in it. It’s pure and I have grown to love its honesty, even though it came as quite a shock to find myself writing in that way. [Bassist] Thomas McNeice produced it after Andy’s wife heard the track and persuaded us to include it in the EP.”EP, due out July 17th. A portrait of Gill, designed by Shepard Fairey, appears on the EP’s cover.
