Franz Ferdinand's New Sound; "Ethiopian Stuff"
-
Artist:
Alex and Paul from Franz Ferdinand have spokenabout the band’s new album, the highly anticipated follow-up to ??You Could Have it So Much Better??(Domino). Frontman Alex Kapranos said: “We’ve been writing and we’re just recording at the moment; we’re about a third of the way through. We set up a wee studio of our own in Glasgow and that’s where we’ve been for the last wee while.â€
The quartet’s working with Girl Aloud’s production team on the currently untitled set, and Alex hinted that we should expect something different: “We’ve been listening to a lot of Ethiopian stuff, maybe that’s gonna be in there a bit. It’s very rhythmic.â€Drummer Paul Thompson added: “I guess there’s definite rhythms, [but] it’s a bit too early to say really. We wouldn’t want to mislead anybody.â€Alex continued: “I guess we wanted to come up with something a little different, a little new. So the sound evolved a little over the year. We spent last year writing and getting a new sound together I suppose.â€"MORE HERE":CH[CH]http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/news/20080303_Franz_Ferdinand_album_exclusive.shtml
