New striking strokes

14 September 2024

Scottish guitar pop celebs FRANZ FERDINAND communicated in a press statement
that they bagged their 6th LP. It’s baptized THE HUMAN FEAR and is slated for release
on 10 January 2025.

Alex Kapranos (frontman): “Making this record was one of the most life-affirming experiences I’ve had, but it’s called The Human Fear,” he continued. “Fear reminds you that you’re alive. I think we all are addicted in some way to the buzz it can give us. How we respond to it shows how we are human. So here’s a bunch of songs searching for the thrill of being human via fears. Not that you’d necessarily notice on first listen.”

Kapranos about the first single AUDACIOUS: “It’s about having an audacious response when you feel the fabric of existence come undone around you. Being bold, contrary. Peering over the edge into the eternity of non-existence and saying Aye! Fuck it! Not today thank you!”
