When Franz Ferdinand first arrived in the mid-2000s, they released a pair of albums just over a year apart. Then they slowed things down, taking almost four years to release their third album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, and now they’ve taken another four years before today announcing their fourth full length Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action.

The album will come out through Domino on August 27th. Followers of theirs on Instagram will have seen them hard at work in the studio, using many synths, which promises to be exciting on the album.

Big fans of the band will be able to buy a limted “passport edition” of the album which features the album on double vinyl, on CD, two non-album tracks on a 7″ single and a booklet entitled Right Notes, Right Words, Wrong Order.

Watch the trailer for Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action below, which features some typically Franz Ferdinand-sounding new music. The track list is beneath.
