Franz Ferdinand have been out of the spotlight since the release of their last studio album, 2009’s ‘Tonight: Franz Ferdinand,’ but now the band reveals just why!
Apparently, the foursome is “fixated” on their new album on which they have been working diligently for months. The band’s lead singer, Alex Kapranos, stated that the album is moving forward and that the band is self-producing it.
Kapranos went on to explain that the lyrics for the songs on the upcoming, still untitled album, tackles “the idea of the cynic’s search for optimism and the skeptic’s search for a manual crop up here and there.” Sounds pretty deep, but we’re betting it comes with some insanely catchy riffs and danceable beats!
The band has been working hard, but has taken some time to play small gigs in their native Scotland where they debuted some of the new songs for fans.
