Franz Ferdinand announce new album

Glasgow outfit Franz Ferdinand have announced details regarding their fourth studio album, with the band to release ‘Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action’ on August 23.

The full-length, to be released via Domino, is a direct follow-up to 2009’s ‘Tonight’.

Recorded over the last year at Alex Kapranos’ Scottish studio and Nick McCarthy’s Sausage Studios in London, the LP cements their status as a unique and adventurous British band: emboldened by a decade’s undreamt-of worldwide success, yet still daring and defiant. It’s an ecstatic rejection of the drab conventions often accompanying that level of attention and expectation.
