I’ve found a new way, baby.
That weegee crime scene inspired cover art EVERYONE is talking about.
Franz Ferdinand have revealed the artwork for their third album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand to the NME, and so therefore to the entire world ( The physical product hits store shelves on January 28th, but if you head over to their official site now, you can take a spin on their random-track-playing turntable and hear “selections” of some of the tracks now, or in the case of first single, “Ulysses”, a voice mail-recorded version of the song. Clever.
The real deal is streaming on Myspace, and it’s a grower. Very much of the Franz Ferdinand template, but there’s some definite growth and development. The lads of brought the funk to the faculty house, it seems. If you’re looking for more info on the album, just throw a rock at your computer–you’re bound to hit a blog posting about them.
