New music from Franz Ferdinand arrived
today in the form of double A-side singles of “Love Illumination”
and “Right Action”. Both tracks are taken from the soon to be
released “Right Thoughts Right Words Right Action” the bands
fourth album and their follow up to 2009's “Tonight: Franz
Ferdinand” with production credits going to the groups label mates,
Hot Chip members Joe Goddard and Alexis Taylor.
The singles show the band moving away
from the synth dabbling sounds of Tonight and more so a return to the
jolty angular guitars of the first two records. Speaking to NME
frontman Alex Kapranos explains how the group “wanted to get back
to the essence of being creative people” whilst they also “wanted
to keep it pretty raw”.
This raw sound is evident in the tracks,
notably so in “Love Illumination”, where the band's enthusiasm
for Edwyn Collins is heard in infectious fuzzy guitar lines. “Right
Action”, containing the lyrics giving the album its name, displays
a sound more characteristic of Franz Ferdinand not to dissimilar to
the catchy riffing of hit single “Take Me Out”.
The singles, released via Domino, are
available now for pre-order with an official release on 7th
July. Right Thoughts Right Words Right Action is set to be released
27th August.
