Franz Ferdinand Do "Ulysses" In The Studio

thumbnail icon: Franz Ferdinand Do "Ulysses" In The Studio

And boy is Penelope pissed. (Rimshot) We've already heard the "funky" "Ulysses." It comes from Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, the Glaswegian quartet's long-awaited crime scenic followup to You Could Have It So Much Better, which is out the end of next month (1/26). Until then, here's that lead track again, this time in well-dressed, promotional studio form.

Don't forget "What She Came For."

Tonight: Franz Ferdinand is out 1/26 via Domino.

I love in-studio footage, gets you a bit closer to the actual personalities i think.
