"Always Ascending", Franz Ferdinand’s 5th album, was recorded between RAK Studios in London and Motorbass Studio in Paris, with the help of the brilliant producer Philippe Zdar (Cassius, Phoenix, The Beastie Boys). Nothing short of a rebirth, this 10-track album is a dazzling reinvention of the band, brimming with new ideas and pop experimentations.
"Always Ascending" celebrates the very essence of Franz Ferdinand: catchy, danceable rock that conceals more complex structures than it seems.
Franz Ferdinand is composed of Alex Kapranos, Bob Hardy, Paul Thomson, Julian Corrie, and Dino Bardot.
