Franz Ferdinand
Franz Ferdinand have announced details of the release of the first single from their forthcoming album. Ulysses will be released on January 19th 2009 on Domino, a week before the release of their third album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand.
The single was produced by Dan Carey and the band as part of the album sessions which took place at the band’s own HQ in Govan, Glasgow and Carey’s South London studio.
Remix parts of Ulysses will be made available to buy on Tuesday 4th November 2008 allowing people to put together their own unique version of the track well-ahead of the track being heard on any radio station.
These remixes will then be judged by Beatport and the Beatport community and the overall winner will then be picked by the band. The winning entries will then be released digitally to coincide with the single release in January.
Currently about to embark on a run of European dates, U.K. shows will be announced shortly.
Franz Ferdinand are: Alex Kapranos (vocals/guitar/keys), Nick McCarthy (vocals, keys, guitar), Paul Thomson (drums/guitar) and Bob Hardy (bass).
