Franz Ferdinand Start Work On Fourth Album

February 15, 2010
Franz Ferdinand Start Work On Fourth AlbumFranz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos has revealed that the band have begun working on their fourth album.

The singer said he and guitarist Nick McCarthy were already exchanging ideas about the follow-up to 2009's 'Tonight'.

But he refused to go into detail about specific ideas over fears he might divulge too much.

"I've been round at Nick's and we've been writing some things, and trying to do things in a different way again," he said.

"You'll hear it before too long."

Kapranos added to BBC 6 Music: "Before the last record, I talked far too much about it as we had the ideas and I made a vow that I wasn't going to say anything about what we are actually doing until we've done it, and then wait about another three weeks."

'Tonight' debuted at number two in the UK album chart and at number nine on the US Billboard countdown when it was released last January.
