Forever

I'll Franz Ferdinand be grateful. Less because they have done a very great classics, but rather because they have given a decade before alternatives skirt, which I found a bit boring and humorless at this time, a jolt in the right direction. With the then omnipresent Franz Ferdinand Debut to trust other indie acts, especially Bloc Party and Maximo Park to be danceable again and also not ashamed in front of pop melodies.

While the Vorgängeralum Tonight: Franz Ferdinand still followed the usual trend and read something compulsively flirren Synthesizer at every turn in my ears and fippsen, Franz Ferdinand remembers now back on their strengths and based on their own roots. One small step back, but one of makes sense. And these roots have now even a foothold in indie pop, and the other but twitching on the dance floor. The share radio will again prioritized and booted, it is a real pleasure. EVIL EYE with its pounding bass is a good example here. Or the smooth twitching and catchy BULLET, with Franz Ferdinand as close as long gone, come close to the brilliance of their debut. Elsewhere the pace is kept high without the melodies to lose sight (LOVE ILLUMINATION, STAND ON THE HORIZON). Some musical outliers are also included, such as the folksy Fresh strawberries but on the whole remain Franz Ferdinand faithful to their line.

The question remains whether it 2013 still needs a guitar band that their lust for danceable, but always intent on melody Pop surrenders again thoughtlessly. However, the question is probably just written and rezensierende minds, Franz Ferdinand rather ask: you are already on the dance floor?
