Franz Ferdinand are streaming their new album ‘Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action‘ in full online ahead of its official release next week. Head over to NPR to take a listen.

The release of their fourth studio album on August 26th will bring to an a four-year break for the band, whose previous effort ‘Tonight: Franz Ferdinand‘ arrived in January 2009. Speaking to the Observer recently, frontman Alex Kapranos admitted he had come close to walking away from the group during that downtime.

“The fun went out when I felt I was working to someone else’s schedule or deadline,” he said. “I’m not naturally the kind of person who works well under those conditions. In fact, my whole adult life before that point, if I’d been in a job where I felt I was under pressure, I would usually just jack in the job. And suddenly I couldn’t do that any more. But maybe. Maybe, that’s what we did after the third record.”

“I met up with Bob in Orkney about two years ago. I wanted to split the band up, because in my head it felt like one of those jobs, the ones I had to jack in. I didn’t like the routine and the obligations.”
