Franz Ferdinand

Franz Ferdinand present the new album 'Always Ascending'. Nothing short of a rebirth, the album's 10 songs are a triumphant recasting of the group, bursting with fresh ideas and vigorous sonic experimentation. 'Always Ascending' was recorded at RAK Studios, London and Motorbass in Paris, with the help of French producer extraordinaire Philippe Zdar (Cassius, Phoenix, The Beastie Boys), the mutual affection between band and producer seeping into every dazzling groove. 'Always Ascending' shows Franz Ferdinand broadening their palate, as exuberant as it is euphoric, creating a sound that singer, Alex Kapranos, refers to as "simultaneously futuristic and naturalistic."

Domino celebrates the 20th anniversary of Franz Ferdinand’s seminal sophomore album You Could Have It So Much Better with a limited edition Orange vinyl and 2025 remaster. Undeterred by any notion of a second album slump, the record picks up where their debut left off and features now classic tracks like ‘Do You Want To’, ‘Eleanor Put Your Boots On’ and ‘Walk Away’. This is pop music at its finest, drawing you in but challenging you at the same time.

Produced with Mark Ralph, who previously worked with them on their 2013 album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, the album showcases Franz at their most immediate, upbeat and life-affirming, unashamedly going for the pop-jugular in classic Franz style.
