After ‘Franz Ferdinand’ in 2004 and ‘You Could Have It So Much Better’ in 2005 one didn’t hear much from the quartet around Alex Kapranos. Some concerts here, some DJ sets there, drummer Paul Thomson played in a band called Correcto,... But apparently the band from Glasgow has also been in the studio. Franz Ferdinand’s new album ‘Tonight: Franz Ferdinand’ is due on January 26 next year on Domino.
‘Ulysses’, the first single form the new album, appeared these days on several radio station as well as on Franz Ferdiand’s MySpace profile. It’s a pretty neat song, starting with some electronic downtempo elements turning then into the familiar Franz Ferdinand manner. It sounds authentic, refreshing and enhanced compared with the former albums without trying to be cool or hot or whatever.
Hopefully the rest of the album is in the same style. Anyway, the names of the songs are pretty auspicious:
Tracklist
1 Ulysses
2 Turn It On
3 No You Girls Never Know
4 Twilight Omens
5 Send Him Away
6 Live Alone
7 Bite Hard
8 What She Came For
9 Can't Stop Feeling
10 Lucid Dreams
11 Dream Again
12 Katherine Kiss Me
