Franz Ferdinand Announce New LP 'Always Ascending', Share Title Track

Scottish indie rockers Franz Ferdinand have announced the release of their new album titled 'Always Ascending'.

The follow-up to 2013's Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Actions, was recorded at RAK Studios, London and Motorbass in Paris, with the help of French producer extraordinaire Philippe Zdar (Cassius, Phoenix, The Beastie Boys), the mutual affection between band and producer seeping into every dazzling groove. ‘Always Ascending’ shows Franz Ferdinand broadening their palate, as exuberant as it is euphoric, creating a sound that singer, Alex Kapranos, refers to as “simultaneously futuristic and naturalistic.”
