The Problem of Leisure: A Celebration of Andy Gill & Gang of Four is a double album of tracks written by Andy Gill and Gang of Four - all newly reinterpreted and recorded by artists whose own unique contributions to music were enriched by listening to Gang of Four. Andy Gill died unexpectedly on February 1st, 2020, and in May 2021, the world gets a new way to enjoy his genius and the lasting brilliance of the band he co-founded. With original artwork by Damien Hirst.
"Everybody who grew up with Gang of Four in their lives can remember how mind-blowing and forward-thinking and filled with creative energy it was at the time and guess what? It still is now," says Hirst. "It's art. Art that's reaching out of this world yet somehow still down to earth. It's so great be involved with this release and to see and hear a new generation of musicians paying tribute to Andy Gill's incredible music. My artwork Dog with Bone', which Andy picked for the cover from a few ideas I had, is from a new series of giant pipe cleaner animals based on little ones made in my studio by kids. I think he wanted this work for the cover because it's new and unexpected and in your face and hard not to like, they make adults feel like children and Andy always wanted to celebrate that."
Artists contributing tracks include Idles, Helmet, Gary Numan, La Roux, The Dandy Warhols, Warpaint, Flea with John Frusciante, and Tom Morello with Serj Tankian.
