Franz Ferdinand to Release Blood

The Scottish band Franz Ferdinand will be bringing back their disc, Blood.

Blood was previously available only in a deluxe version of their last album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, which was released last January.

The new album was composed as a dubbed version, with voices removed from the songs on Tonight. The dub influence, which is a style close to reggae focusing more on the bass and drums, is a product of Franz Ferdinand’s collaboration with producer Dan Carey.

All track titles on the album are different from the ones on Tonight. The group extracted words from the original song lyrics to correspond with the new album’s song titles. Blood will be available on June 1.

The group is now on tour in the United States.
