Our Take

With their fifth studio album, “Always Ascending,” Franz Ferdinand set out to continue their signature blend of catchy hooks, danceable grooves, and clever lyrics. And boy, did they deliver.

The album kicks off with the infectious title track which immediately hooks you in with its funky bassline and Alex Kapranos’ distinctive vocals. “Lazy Boy” follows suit with its glam rock vibes and catchy chorus that will have you singing along in no time.

The band showcases their versatility with tracks like “Paper Cages,” a somber ballad that showcases the band’s emotional depth, and “Finally,” a pulsating track that will have you on your feet and dancing like there’s no tomorrow.

One standout track is “Lois Lane,” a groovy number that pays homage to the iconic superheroine in a way only Franz Ferdinand could pull off. The juxtaposition of the playful lyrics with the infectious rhythm makes for a truly memorable listening experience.

Overall, “Always Ascending” is a solid addition to Franz Ferdinand’s discography, showcasing their ability to evolve while still staying true to their roots. It’s a fun, quirky album that’s sure to keep you coming back for more. So, put on your dancing shoes and give it a spin - you won’t be disappointed.
