Album review
Franz Ferdinand have shared a new single, ‘Night Or Day’, alongside a music video. It follows ‘Audacious’ in previewing the band’s upcoming album The Human Fear. Check out the Rianne White-directed clip below.
“Life may never be easy, but damn, we’ll make sure we live it up night or day,” frontman Alex Kapranos said in a statement. “Night into day. We collaborated with the hugely talented Rianne White to capture the Drama-Noir of the environment where we recorded this and the rest of the LP. She has a sensitivity and energy which exploded into that space, giving a glimpse of the world where we made the music. Storm shake the room and boom… the dark heart of Scotland beats strong. Filmed entirely on location at AYR Studios.”
White added: “This song emulates the turbulent, transcendent immensity of feelings that live and breathe within four walls. Born with Franz Ferdinand in their Scottish studio, where they recorded this beauty, ‘Night or Day’ was a powerful meeting of visual and sound, all caught in the eye of 16mm black and white film. These are the storms we dance in!”
The Human Fear is set to arrive January 10 via Domino.
