Franz Ferdinand's fertile fears

Two decades after the success of 'Take Me Out', the Scottish band reaches their sixth album, the first in seven years, but they don't want to be a souvenir — and they even come to Portugal twice this year. Fear is the engine, Alex Kapranos and Bob Hardy tell us around a bar table in London

Duas décadas depois do sucesso de ‘Take Me Out’, a banda escocesa chega ao sexto álbum, o primeiro em sete anos, mas não quer ser um souvenir — e até vem duas vezes a Portugal este ano. O medo é o motor, conta-nos Alex Kapranos e Bob Hardy à volta de uma mesa de bar em Londres

“Bands that play the most successful album are zombies”: we spoke with Franz Ferdinand in London and have already heard the brand new “The Human Fear”

Media Bias/Fact Check

Paradoxically, “The Human Fear”, the seventh album by the great British band Franz Ferdinand, begins with a hymn of daring. Missing the point? Ultimately, it is a successful manifesto of restlessness. Also with Greek-Scottish beats.

Mit einer Hymne der Waghalsigkeit beginnt paradoxerweise „The Human Fear“, das siebte Album der großen britischen Band Franz Ferdinand. Themenverfehlung? Letztlich ein gelungenes Manifest der Rastlosigkeit. Auch mit griechisch-schottischen Beats.

Franz Ferdinand: The Human Fear

SocialFranz Ferdinand is the louse of international pop music, but a louse that only bothers you at certain times - on a Friday in August, for example. Franz Ferdinand's music is extremely middle of the road annoying but bizarrely enough quite a lot of people like it, and the divine rest comes out of that hysterical disco punk's throat twice & crosswise when they are whining at Lowlands for the eightieth time in a row. Franz Ferdinand was defini…

SocialFranz Ferdinand is de schaamluis van de internationale popmuziek, maar wel een schaamluis waar je slechts op bepaalde momenten last van hebt - op een vrijdag in augustus, bijvoorbeeld. De muziek van Franz Ferdinand is extreem middle of the road vervelend maar wordt bizar genoeg door best veel mensen leuk gevonden, en de goddelijke rest komt die hysterische discopunk dubbel & dwars de strot uit als ze voor de tachtigste keer in successie op…
