Franz Ferdinand
Hits To The Head (2LP)
Over 20 years, Franz Ferdinand have grown from cult Glasgow indie stalwarts to a world beating, festival headlining International pop success - Hits To The Head gathers all your favourite Franz Ferdinand singles in one handy album.
Across Two LPs the ascent of Franz Ferdinand is chronicled from the fresh-faced giddy heights of "Darts Of Pleasure," leaping into the global stratosphere with "Take Me Out" & then onwards through five albums of some of the greatest pop anthems from the last 20 years.
The compilation closes with two brand new Franz songs "Billy Goodbye" and "Curious", recorded in Scotland earlier this year and co-produced & mixed by modern pop auteur Stuart Price (Dua Lipa, Pet Shop Boys, Madonna). "Billy Goodbye" is a glam rock stomper redolent of peak Roxy Music with a dash of Berlin era David Bowie brought bang up to date with the magic touch of Mr Price. "Curious" is familiar yet fresh, classic Kapranos guitar licks, hand claps & strings combine in an intoxicating little number that will have you strutting in style. Both indelible ear-worms destined to become festival favourites yell-sung fervently by audiences internationally soon.
