Franz Ferdinand have announced their single ‘Fresh Strawberries‘ will be backed by the brand new track ‘Erdbeer Mund‘ which can be heard via Soundcloud below.
‘Fresh Strawberries’ is treated to guest vocals from Roxanne Clifford of Veronica Falls and featured on the band’s album ‘Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action‘, which ended a four-year gap between releases when it arrived in September 2013.
“If there’s something as crass as a formula at work here, then that familiarity rarely dulls its appeal, especially when Nick McCarthy‘s guitar and Hardy’s bass are so perfectly casual on the romantically inclined pop of ‘Stand On The Horizon‘, or in the painting of a beige suburban Britain as wryly observed on the Pulp-esque wife-swapping tale ‘Brief Encounters‘,” Live4ever’s review concluded.
“Both are examples of a group who’ve been through the ego sucking emotions of guilt and self doubt and seen the other side; they may not be our property again for long, but for now brains not brawn are back in fashion.”
