    FFS (UK / USA) «FFS» (Domino Records, Release: 05.06.2015) Collaborations, as FFS would have us believe on their debut album, don’t work. You start off deferential, and strangely reverential – and eventually, you’ll need the Dalai Lama to mediate, between all the patronising, agonising, navel-gazing and differences in work ethic. So when Los Angeles duo Sparks and Glasgow-based quartet Franz Ferdinand decided to record together, it was a flawed and potentially disastrous idea, right? FFS, you couldn’t be more wrong! Not only is ‘Collaborations Don’t Work’ one of the star attractions of the self- titled record that sprang from their collective loins but ‘FFS’ is also one of the strongest albums of either bands’ career. The love of artful corkscrew pop that created a mutual appreciation society kicks off with the lead single ‘Johnny Delusional’ and its soon-come successor ‘Call Girl’, though the hooks driving ‘Police Encounters’, ‘So Desu Ne’ and ‘Piss Off’ are no less fabulous and merciless. This dynamic thrill is countered by the subtler charms of ‘Dictator’s Son’ and ‘Little Guy From The Suburbs’, the haughtier ‘The Power Couple’ and ‘Collaborations Don’t Work’ itself, a multi-tiered quasi-musical that shows off the compositional ambition and savvy humour that defines ‘FFS’. “The real motivation was to make something new, not ‘Franz featuring Russell Mael’, or ‘Sparks with Franz Ferdinand backing them’,” declares FF frontman Alex Kapranos, whose intertwining lead vocals with Russell is another of the record’s principal thrills, like a male version of the Abba approach.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 26.10.2017 Franz Ferdinand 2018 Mit Neuem
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 26.10.2017 Franz Ferdinand 2018 mit neuem Album auf Tour Sie zählen nicht nur zu den erfolgreichsten Bands Großbritanniens der letzten 15 Jahre, sie sind auch eine der letzten noch bestehenden Bastionen der gewaltigen Welle an neuen UK- Bands, die die Welt zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends mit frischen Rockklängen überrollten. Obendrein sind Franz Ferdinand aus Glasgow nahezu im Alleingang verantwortlich für die globale Renaissance des Postpunk der späten Siebziger- und des New-Wave der frühen Achtzigerjahre. Dabei hat die 2001 als Quartett gegründete Formation diese Klangästhetiken nie einfach nur kopiert, sondern vielmehr adaptiert und sich unter Zuhilfenahme stets wechselnder und ergänzender Genres wie Noiserock, Disco oder Pop mit jedem Album verändert. Nicht nur in ganz Europa, auch in Nordamerika und sogar Asien gelten Franz Ferdinand daher seit Jahren als ein enorm stilsicherer Garant für Rockmusik, die ebenso tanzbar wie anspruchsvoll ist und die damit jeden vom konventionellen Radiohörer bis zum blasierten Musikkritiker unmittelbar in den Bann zieht. Denn mit jedem ihrer bislang vier Alben hat sich die Band um Sänger, Gitarrist und Vordenker Alex Kapranos substanziell weiter entwickelt, ohne dabei die typischen Trademarks – kantige Stakkato-Gitarren, treibende Beats, sofort zündende Hooklines sowie eine selten magische Energie zwischen melancholisch gefärbten Kompositionen und euphorisch lebensbejahender Grundhaltung – aus den Augen zu verlieren. Franz Ferdinand ist damit etwas gelungen, was man in der heutigen Rockwelt nur selten findet: Gleichsam substanziell und massenkompatibel zu sein, sich dabei stets zu entwickeln und trotzdem unverwechselbar zu bleiben.

One of the standout bands from Scotland’s inimitable musical heritage, Franz Ferdinand burst on to the British music scene in the early noughties in a flurry of jagged riffs, hands-aloft choruses and irresistible hooks. This is Franz Ferdinand’s first appearance at the world-famous Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, after its scheduled support of Erasure in 2003/04 was blown off course. This year their stunning new album Always Ascending is hitting people in the heart and the head, and Franz Ferdinand has found itself on the shortlist for the 2018 SAY Award, winning the popular vote. Forget everything you think you know about Franz Ferdinand, Always Ascending is nothing short of a rebirth. A triumphant recasting of one of our favourite groups, bursting with fresh ideas and vigorous sonic experimentation: the sounds of the Parisian night, the exhilaration of an Italian car racing down the autobahn; a feeling of euphoria so pure it could only exist on a knife’s edge, occasionally gliding into euphoric heartbreak.

  • Chemikal Underground: “Post-Independent” Rock and Pop in Scotland? J. Mark Percival
    Chemikal Underground: “Post-Independent” Rock and Pop in Scotland? J. Mark Percival Introduction In the second week of April 2005, Glasgow-based independent band The Delgados announced their decision to split up after eleven years and five critically acclaimed albums, including one Mercury Music Prize nominee. The four members of the band continue to run the Chemikal Underground record label and the company’s recording studio, Chem 19. Co-lead vocalist and guitarist Emma Pollock signed a solo deal with Beggars Banquet with whom she released one album, Watch The Fireworks. She released a second solo album, The Law of Large Numbers, on Chemikal Underground in 2010, and contributed to two musicians collective albums the same year by The Burns Unit and Fruit Tree Foundation. Co-lead vo- calist and guitarist Alun Woodward released a solo album in 2009 under the name Lord Cut-Glass. Other members of the band toured in 2005 as Arab Strap guitarist Malcolm Middleton’s backing band, supporting the Chemikal Underground album release Into The Woods. In 2010, the label reached its fifteenth year and has a rich back catalogue, including material from Mogwai, Arab Strap and Los Angeles-based Radar Brothers. The business practices and ideological approach of Chemikal Underground continue to con- found conventional popular music studies notions of relationships between the “independent” and the “mainstream.” Of course, there are other UK labels that occupy similar spaces, but Chemikal Underground is probably one of the best examples of what I wish to argue here is “post-independence.”1 1 The essence of “post-independence” is the combination of a focused ideo- logical and creative independence, combined with a clear understanding and use of contemporary mainstream music industry business practices.
