The most (or second-most, depending on your proclivities) popular Scottish indie band of the 2000’s, Franz Ferdinand has announced The Human Fear, their first album of new music since 2018’s Always Ascending.

The record’s lead single, “Audacious,” finds the Glasgow-bred art-rock provocateurs at their most accessible, delivering sleek and catchy pop with gentle edginess and a per-usual lack of inhibition.
