Franz Ferdinand
The Human Fear DOMINO
Strutting 00s mainstays evolve into glam, retro electronics and traditional grooves.
Transcending their 2000s origins thanks to a solid dedication to the ‘art’ part of art-pop, Glasgow’s strutting sophisticates Franz Ferdinand arrive at album six – seven years after the tone-shifting title track to 2018’s Always Ascending melted indie rock’s mind – in inquisitive style. That the record examines our reactions to human fears such as death and loneliness only seems to bolster its fearlessness.
