new franz ferdinand,

looks like today's theme is scottish bands, how nice, these guys ain't dull in the silghtest. short and snappy (study, study). franz ferdinand have released this teaser video of new material, the video is titled "under the stage" but i'ts not apparent whether the track goes by this name since franz are literally playing it under a stage. sounds funky. so much for them abandonning the guitars for a synthier album. this new material follows the seven tracks they secretly previewed in the basement of glasgow's admiral bar recently (i've only been there once for an nme after party that featured crystal castles and a lovefoxx (CSS) DJ set. it's a nice lounge.)

and here's a franz cover of LCD soundsystem's "all my friends":
