Franz Ferdinand Stream Third Album Track Online

Franz Ferdinand have begun streaming a track believed to be off their forthcoming third album online.

'Lucid Streams' is currently available in full via the music section on the band's website.

The song is the first time that many fans have heard the final cut of a track from the as-yet-untitled record, which is due out early in 2009.

Speaking about the album last month, frontman Alex Kapranos said the album had a more “disco dance tempo" than its predecessors.

“While the music is not necessarily disco music, it is around about that tempo and it makes you move in that kind of a way,” he said.
