Franz Ferdinand乐队由4个帅小伙Alexander Kapranos、Nicholas McCarthy、Robert Hardy和Paul Thomson组成。这支来自苏格兰格拉斯哥的乐队2004年凭借自己的首张同名专辑震撼了整个英国摇滚乐坛。
等待四年，就是”今夜”。
还记得 04 年一首 Take Me Out 和紧接而来的同名专辑，让来自苏格兰格拉斯高的 Franz Ferdinand 成为家喻户晓之英国新团，也在同年拿下水星音乐奖殊荣。被外界定为一支 post-punk/new-wave revival 乐团，Franz Ferdinand 的确玩得衬职，不管从何角度切入，他们从内而外始终散发一股 80 年代才存有的英伦摇滚气息。
Tonight：Franz Ferdinand 一样围绕后庞克舞曲，不过和以往不同，他们想在其中放入了更多电子概念，这点从单曲 Ulysses、Live Alone 就可以窥之一二：跟着电子跳跃的鼓点和贝斯、藉由躁动的 vocal 和吉他带出新意，Lucid Dreams 则更胜一筹，用了长达三分钟的电气节拍收尾。尽管如此，专辑中仍保留像 No You Girls、Twilight Omens 等曲，让人一听就会联想到过去的 Franz Ferdinand。
不过最令人诧异的还是收尾，竟用 Katherine Kiss Me 有着温柔吉他伴奏的抒情作品，听来或许有点突兀，却也暗示新专辑中充满摆脱过去印象的企图。
Naming themselves after the archduke whose assassination
sparked the First World War, the band mix grandeur and
pretension with a shrewd pop touch. Their self-titled debut
album didnt so much light up the charts as turn the sales
book into an inferno, while follow-up You Could Have It So
Much Better came equipped with a stunning arsenal of singles.
But then the trail goes cold. The band retreat to Glasgow,
with the Franz Ferdinand citadel surrounded by the cloud of
rumour as a thousand lesser acts go screaming up the charts
only to fall back in a blaze of mediocrity.
Sitting idle since 2005, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand is an
album long-delayed. Sessions with the slick pop machine
Xenomania ended badly, forcing the group to spend longer on
the album than they anticipated. During the prolonged
downtime, the band began exploring new influences, adding
electro, Afrobeat and 60s garage sounds to the studio
jukebox.
Opening track and comeback single Ulysses encapsulates the
drama of the bands return. Franz Ferdinand emerge from their
hiatus with a bass-heavy intro, before Alex Kapranos familiar
voice hisses and seethes from the speakers. As dancefloor
friendly as a handshake with Erol Alkan, it name-checks James
Joyces groundbreaking novel amid the refrain, I found a new
way. At times gloriously over the top, it never loses its
shrewd pop vision ending in a maelstrom of antique synths
being pushed into the 21st Century.
This confusing blend of past and present runs through the
throbbing veins of Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. The gentle
African skank of Send Him Away rumbles along nicely, almost
staining the coffee table with its polite Afrobeat mannerisms.
But suddenly the band erupts into a frenetic Fela Kuti-style
breakdown - like a circuit pushed to overloading, Send Him
Away sparks and spasms into life.
Shimmering disco scenery dominates the landscape of this
album. Producer Dan Carey recalls the adventurous spirit of
the Moroder era, as the band battle creaking antique synths to
find their true voice. Twilight Omens opens with an almost
Daft Punk-inspired riff, before leaping headlong into groovy
Roxy Music-style rhythm. This is an album that right from its
title down to the last notes is bathed in moonlight, its skin
bleached with the glitter of the disco ball.
The albums centrepiece is Lucid Dreams, possibly the most
stunning and ambitious recording the band have put their names
to. The vocals are hidden in the mix, allowing the runaway
momentum of the song to gallop ahead of Kapranos. A triumph of
Dareys production skills, Lucid Dreams threatens to spin
off in almost a dozen different directions, held together by
the rhythmic gravity of Paul Thomsons insistent drum beats.
It runs for an epic seven minutes, shattering Franz
Ferdinands pop framework into a thousand electronic
fragments.
Refining and transcending their familiar pop formula,
Tonight: Franz Ferdinand is the bands most complete work to
date. Worth the wait, and in all honesty better than we could
ever have hoped for.
