Franz Ferdinand stream Always Ascending remix EP


Franz Ferdinand

Cara Robbins




Remixes by Cassius, Prins Thomas and Nina Kraviz have put three new spins on the title-track of Franz Ferdinand‘s 2018 album Always Ascending.

“On this release we asked three very different remixers for their interpretation of ‘Always Ascending’, most of them chose to use the constantly rising Shepard Tone but that’s about all they have in common,” Paul Thomson explains.

“Trusted Parisian party-starters Cassius go for a carnival-esque rammy while over the course of Nina Kraviz’s three mixes she tears deeper into the upside down, finding the darkest corner of the track and leaving you there.”
