Franz Ferdinand have completed their third album, set for release in early 2009. Supposedly, it is slower, but has more dance influences than their previous self-titled and You Could Have It So Much Better albums. Alex Kapranos said that:
The last record was fast, furious, frantic, 150 BPM. It was like a teenager having sex. This one’s a bit more assured and a bit friendlier for the dancefloor. It’s about 104/105bpm. It does sound different, and there are different instruments on the record, different tempos, a different attitude to making it. But it’s always going to sound like a Franz Ferdinand record when it’s the four of us making it. It’s very much a dance record again this time.”
No title or release date or confirmed tracks just yet, we’ll keep you posted.
