Franz Ferdinand - Always Ascending

A: Franz Ferdinand
S: Always Ascending

After teasing fans with a snippet of new music last week, the indie veterans unveiled the lead single and announced that their new album Always Ascending is out February 9. Drawing on the band’s more synth-based electronic sounds, the track is a propulsive and experimental turn for Franz, and an ambitious departure from their more guitar-driven roots.
