Scottish rock troupe Franz Ferdinand have announced details on their next new album. “Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action” will be out on Aug. 27 via Domino.
The foursome Alex Kapranos, Nick McCarthy, Bob Hardy and Paul Thomson recorded the 10-song set at frontman Kapranos’ home studio in Scotland, guitarist McCarthy’s Sausage Studio in London and at sessions in Stockholm and Oslo. Kapranos said of the effort: “The Intellect Vs The Soul, played out by some dumb band.” We don’t know what that means either.
This is the Glasgow-bred rockers’ fourth studio album, and their first in four year. Their previous “Tonight” was released in 2009 and made it to No. 9 on The Billboard 200.
