More new music You may know Franz Ferdinand from their major radio hit ‘Take Me Out’ or from their other well know hits ‘The Dark of the Matinée’ and ‘This Fire’. Today the scene brings us their third album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. I have been listening to the album while writing this and I must say it is not too bad. ‘Ulysses’ is the first single from the album and I can see it being a hit, though I don’t know if it will be able to top the success of ‘Take Me Out’ because that song is just too epic. If you are interested in hearing some new rock/indie music this might be worth checking out. Thanks to DV8. Enjoy!

Naming themselves after the archduke whose assassination sparked the First World War, the band mix grandeur and pretension with a shrewd pop touch. Their self-titled debut album didn’t so much light up the charts as turn the sales book into an inferno, while follow-up ‘You Could Have It So Much Better’ came equipped with a stunning arsenal of singles. But then the trail goes cold. The band retreat to Glasgow, with the Franz Ferdinand citadel surrounded by the cloud of rumour as a thousand lesser acts go screaming up the charts only to fall back in a blaze of mediocrity. Sitting idle since 2005, ‘Tonight: Franz Ferdinand’ is an album long-delayed. Sessions with the slick pop machine Xenomania ended badly, forcing the group to spend longer onthe album than they anticipated. During the prolonged downtime, the band began exploring new influences, adding electro, Afrobeat and æ60s garage sounds to the studio jukebox.
