Franz Ferdinand new album update

The second Franz Ferdinand album will sound nothing like you would expect, says the man who knows best â€" the record's producer.

Leftfield hip-hop producer Dan ‘The Automator' Nakamura has given NME.COM the inside track on the album, work on which is already well in progress.

He said: "Hearing some of the new demos they've been working on, they're more musically diverse than what you might hear from listening to the [first] album. They sound like Franz Ferdinand. They're a band that are fairly comfortable with being a four-piece rock band or being a little bit more electronic. Their influences are very wide and I think they can adapt to that while maintaining the sound, I think that's what's cool about it."

Dan has already worked on two versions of forthcoming Franz single ‘Can't Stop Feeling' as well as a track for his own album with his collaborative project Handsome Boy Modelling School. Alex Kapranos contributes vocals to ‘The World's Gone Mad', the first single to be taken from the album ‘White Boys', out November 8. Also appearing on the album are Deftonesfrontman Chino Moreno, Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda, Mars Volta and Cat Power.
