Franz Ferdinand have been announced as National Album Day Ambassadors!
Frontman of BRIT and Mercury Prize winning, Grammy nominated Glaswegian group Franz Ferdinand Alex Kapranos said “What a glorious medium the album is. On the most basic level it’s a bunch of songs that sound good together, but what I love is that it is a moment in time for the artist and the listener, a way to define a period of a lifetime. It’s the long form: a novel rather than a short story, a film rather than a trailer. Sure, you can get a panel of writers to construct a song to meet the criteria of the algorithm, and that’s a distinct skill, but it will never have the complexity or richness and deep reward of a good album.”
