Her Name Is Nicole

Franz Ferdinand

music,music awards,Franz Ferdinand Franz Ferdinand Tonight

Release date: January 26th 2009

 

We’ve heard some of the new stuff already and it’s quite different from their last album. According to the boys, the new album will be more of a dance record than a rock record, but still very much pop music. We also hear they’ve been using an old Russian synthesiser built from spare parts in the Cold War during their recording sessions – which sounds fabulously bizarre!
