Franz Ferdinand ‘Always Ascending’

Franz Ferdinand — ‘Always Ascending’ (9th Feb. 2018)

 Franz Ferdinand — ‘Always Ascending’ (9th Feb. 2018)  Franz Ferdinand — ‘Always Ascending’ (9th Feb. 2018)•Π•     ‘Always Ascending’ 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.”
•Π•     From the city which jointly played host to the album’s conception, the band will mark the announcement of ‘Always Ascending’ with a live streamed launch event at Paris’s Point Ephémère, to be broadcast from the Franz Ferdinand Facebook page from 8.30pm BST tonight, Wednesday October 25, during which the band will preview a selection of their new recordings.

•Π•     ≡•≡      We interrupt your regular monthly Domino newsletter to share our excitement for a new album from Franz Ferdinand. A triumphant recasting, Franz Ferdinand’s Always Ascending is as exuberant as it is euphoric, bursting with fresh ideas born of what Alex Kapranos calls “aggressive sonic experimentation.” With the help of producer Philippe Zdar (Cassius, Phoenix, Beastie Boys), Kapranos and co. took a knife to their old canvas, producing an album that is so foreign in its familiarity it could only be current. A sound that the singer refers to as “simultaneously futuristic and naturalistic.” A deluxe vinyl bundle is available only to the first orders through Domino Mart.
