70 Songs Of Failure & Hatred

[Manic Street Hippie]

I know Nicky despises the man, but he really could take some advice:

Franz Ferdinand have insisted that they will not discuss their new album because they do not want to "spoil" the surprise for fans.

The 'Take Me Out' group are currently working on their new LP, but frontman Alex Kapranos admitted that he will not be discussing any new material after 'mouthing' off too much about their last album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand before its release.

"There's a couple of songs we're working on but we're still writing," Bang Showbiz quotes him as saying.

"It's too early to say what it's about and also, with our last record, I shot my mouth off a little bit too much and said too much about it before it came out, so I'm keeping my mouth closed this time and not spoiling the surprise. I think that spoils it, so it's best to stay quiet."

Despite being secretive about the new album, Kapranos hinted that the band may collaborate with Scottish singer Edwyn Collins.

He said: "I went round to Edwyn Collins's place and he's working on a record, it's very cool. We haven't decided if we'll record with him or not yet, but wait and see."
