Franz Ferdinand - new album & a Brooklyn show (tix on sale)

Franz Ferdinand

Franz Ferdinand have finished work on their third album, which is “very much a dance record”, the band have said.

Their last album, You Could Have It So Much Better, came out three years ago.

“The last record was fast, furious, frantic, 150 beats per minute. It was like a teenager having sex,” singer Alex Kapranos told BBC News.

“This one’s a bit more assured and a bit friendlier for the dancefloor. It’s about 104/105bpm,” Kapranos said. The untitled album is due early in 2009. [BBC]
