专辑介绍：
Franz Ferdinand are a rock band that formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 2002. Named after Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the band comprises Alex Kapranos (lead vocals and guitar), Bob Hardy (bass guitar), Nick McCarthy (rhythm guitar, keyboards and backing vocals), and Paul Thomson (drums, percussion and backing vocals).
Since late 2007, the band have been recording their third studio album in Glasgow, and will be released on 26 January 2009.
In an interview with British newspaper The Independent the band stated that the upcoming third Franz Ferdinand album would have plenty of African influences. This was revealed at a recent African Express show, an event set up by Damon Albarn, of Blur and Gorillaz fame, after the band played a new song unofficially titled 'Can't You Let Me Stay Tonight'. When it was played at the event, the song featured Malian ngoni player Bassekou Kouyate, Senegalese percussionists, and British rapper Kano. While it has not been confirmed if the stated musicians will appear in an official recorded version, the band have reportedly finished recording the album, and Alex Kapranos has subsequently stated that 'The last record was...like a teenager having sex. This one's a bit more assured and a bit friendlier for the dance floor.' Tonight: Franz Ferdinand was mixed by Canadian Mix Engineer Mike Fraser.
A new song entitled 'Lucid Dreams' was included in the Madden NFL 09 video game. The song was released on 19 August 2008 through iTunes.
On 7 October 2008, reporter Michael Hogan from Vanity Fair interviewed Alex and Paul, who confirmed the title of their third album to be Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. The band also confirmed the Tonight: Franz Ferdinand title at a 'secret' Brooklyn show on 8 October 2008.
Six new songs were played during Franz Ferdinand's Music Hall of Williamsburg set, including 'Ride Together', 'Turn It On', 'Send Him Away', 'Katherine Kiss Me', 'Ulysses', and 'What She Came For'. The tracklisting for the album was announced on 15 October. New songs were also previewed at the WFNX concert, Miracle on Tremont St., at the Orpheum Theater in Boston.
'Ulysses', the first single from the album, was first played by Zane Lowe on 17 November 2008. Shortly afterwards it hit YouTube.
