Franz Ferdinand Returns with New Album, Proves Indie Music’s Enduring Appeal

Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand made their mark on the music scene two decades ago with their infectious hit songs like “Take Me Out” and “Do You Want To”. Known for their indie rock sound, the band has remained dedicated to their unique style over the years.

Despite recent talk of an indie music resurgence, Franz Ferdinand never felt like the genre went anywhere. Their latest album, The Human Fear, dropped on January 10th, marking their sixth studio album and ending a seven-year hiatus from full-length releases.

Frontman Alex Kapranos and bassist Bob Hardy opened up about their songwriting process for the new album, sharing their love for artists like Chappell Roan and Charli XCX. The band continues to stay true to their roots while evolving their sound with each new release.
