The chemistry of this band is insane

[@melissaggp]

I love how Franz Ferdinand has always been inspired by the Bauhaus on their videos and album arts, amazing!

[@brunacanzian6688]

I was looking for a commentary like this! At 1:42 and 3:08 is a Oskar Schlemmer's triadisches ballett reference

[@Ami483]

I thought it's more connected with lynch movies, eyes wide shut, illuminati symbolism but you're probably right. I'm a new fan of the band 🤭

[@matthewbotayet2232]

They even sound like Bauhaus, well, i guess it now has sound...

[@examichelle]

Love it, also the Take me Out video had a lot of Dada inspiration

[@filmandfirearms]

@@Ami483 They're basically the same as all the Russian underground bands that were finally able to go public after the Soviet Union collapsed, only they're in English. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the guys personally know Bugaev and his mates

[@comeaumatthew]

I have to say that this is song is one of my two favorites on their newest album the second being Evil Eye. Few bands are able to make such consistent music in each album simply because they want to experiment with different musical styles and techniques. This is why i like Franz Ferdinand, they still do some experimentation and yet they still keep the same gritty and quirky style they had a decade ago.

[@flavioantonio2533]

When you're half way from a dream Is it hard to work out what is real? Is the real over there more vivid than here ever feels? We could love We could love you If you need somebody to love you While you're looking for somebody to love Sweet love illumination Sweet sweet love, elevation Outside fresh avaricide But inside our love you'll be alright Sweet love illumination Sweet sweet love, celebration Cop car burn Reason turn But it'll bring you up You'll be alright Is the Blackpool bright light Brighter than the light in your home? Were you born to be loved but nobody else seems to know? We could love We could love you If you need somebody to love you While you're looking for somebody to love Sweet love illumination Sweet sweet love, elevation Outside fresh…

So I was listening to "Take Me Out" because I had just learned to play it after not hearing it in forever...and then all of a sudden while browsing a different webpage this song started after "Take Me Out" had ended, thanks to autoplay...and it BLEW me the fudge away, then each song on this album that I continued to listen to, CONTINUED to blow me away. Holy crap. Soooooo good!!!! Thanks Franz Ferdinand, thanks KZbin, and thanks autoplay, I now know what album I'm buying next...

[@IsraeliDino]

ADDITION: Every other song they have is awesome. I'm in awe.

[@capitangrenetin5561]

Hear the whole album Right Action, really fucking sweet.

[@ArceanX]

How's guitar going for you man? I hope you're still passions fueled and your life is still full of excitements. If it isn't anymore, try to remember how much fun you've had when you were younger and discovering new things that you loved. With the internet growing larger, you can now find discover even more new things even if you don't have much time available to you anymore. You can always make some time for yourself when you want to, whether it be multitasking in the bathroom while ur brushing your teeth, blasting music while ur showering, sitting on the toilet, or a few minutes before you go to sleep. Those small minutes can add up into amazing discoveries after amazing discoveries. If you need a few idea starters on what to look for, maybe just search best new rock music 2024 or 2023, or good new guitarists, all the hobbies that you enjoyed back in the day can all be things that you search up on the internet. Also, if you still enjoy guitar or think you can still have some fun with listening or playing guitar, check out POLYPHIA. They do a lot of instrumental only music and they all fcking bangers. Each of the musicians on the team are so fcking technical with their playing especially the lead guitarist and the drummer. The things that they can do with their instruments are unreal.

[@IsraeliDino]

@@ArceanX Hahahahahahaha awesome comment man! First of all I must tell you that I am only 25 years old, I wrote the earlier comment when I was about 18 hahahaha 😂. I still play guitar, I still record music, believe me - I'm singing and dancing every single day whenever I have the chance! A bit less time while grinding through an engineering degree but, believe me, my passions are very much still alive and I am continuing to enjoy and discover, deepen my love for music with every passing day. I'm happy to say that over these past 7 years I have REALLY found my favorite music genres (dreampop/shoegaze/etc. - I can give you recommendations if you like haha), you know, that GOOD STUFF that just wraps the soul in a glaze of butter like an almond croissant. Franz Ferdinand I still enjoy and admire, just haven't listened to them in a long while hahaha. You are so right though, it is crucial to maintain your passions throughout the day and throughout our lives, in the smallest moments especially...it is through music and running that I find this special connection to the universe, it's what helps me stay so optimistic and appreciative of all life has to offer hahaha. And also - a good friend of mine from my studies LOVES Polyphia and Tim Henson, I've heard of them! Thanks for the recommendation! What about you, still enjoying life and music? 😜

God I wish more of my friends liked Franz Fredinand, their such a fantastic band, being someone whom loves weird stuff I love their music videos like this one

[@JamesSaintFiacre]

I love their ability to reinvent their sound, and am especially impressed with their lyrics and artistry. I think if their singles make it onto mainstream airwaves, they'll be even more successful than Tonight's slight mainstream flopping. The pop and rock world is a bit vapid at the moment; no substance. Hopefully they will inspire more artists to test and push themselves.

[@PowerInSkin]

After 9 years of following their work, I am continually and exponentially impressed with them.
