I think when you name a record, you have to choose something which you feel reflects the record or that collection of songs. Kapranos had talked about the background of the album title in a documentary about the album: Maybe the album is about how to shed those scales." Album title Socially awkward asthmatic with a self-consuming imagination. I've always liked the lead character in Alasdair Gray's Lanark growing the hard scales to defend the soft inner-self from the world. The idea of the cynic's search for optimism and the sceptic's search for a manual crop up here and there. Kapranos described the album direction as "forward" and revealed that the band decided to keep a low profile about things as their last album was "tainted" by misinformation prior to its release. Instead of recording all the music at once, they sought out to record different batches of songs over a period of time. The band recalled having about five or six sessions of recording. According to band drummer Paul Thomson, most of the material on the album had been written and demoed at Sausage Studio and Black Pudding. The album was recorded during 2013 at Alex Kapranos' Black Pudding Studio in Glasgow, Scotland, Nick McCarthy's Sausage Studios and Mark Ralph's Club Ralph in London, England, and Björn Yttling's Ingrid Studio in Stockholm, Sweden. The band previewed many of their new tracks at live performances over 20. The album spawned six singles: " Right Action", " Love Illumination", " Evil Eye", " Bullet", " Fresh Strawberries", and " Stand on the Horizon". It also had a significant commercial performance, with the album charting in the top 10 in several countries, including the band's home country of Scotland, where it peaked at number 2, and the UK, where it peaked at number 6. The album received generally favourable reviews from music critics upon its release. Band member Alex Kapranos, who provided production on the album, labeled it the band's "most positive record", stating that the album title reflects the mood of the album as well as the mood of the band members during the recording of the album. The band focused on making a generally positive and uplifting album with Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action. Similar to Tonight, the album features more of a dance-oriented sound throughout. It also features production from a number of musicians. Recorded during 2013, the album was recorded in multiple studios in different locations. It is also the band's final album to feature guitarist Nick McCarthy. It was the band's first studio album since Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, which was released four years earlier. It was released through the Domino Recording Company on 26 August 2013 in the United Kingdom and on 27 August in the United States. The end of a life being a catalyst for war was a rich enough metaphor for the band to roll with it, and that is how we have come to know, love and shout for talented musicians on stage and in studio who make music that we label as Franz Ferdinand's.Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action is the fourth studio album by Scottish indie rock band Franz Ferdinand. There was a racehorse named after Archduke Franz Ferdinand whose winning race was witnessed by the band and after a discussion about the name, they decided they liked the alliteration as well as the meaning. Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination was a precursor to the start of World War I. Since then, two new members have joined Franz Ferdinand – Dino Bardot and Julian Corrie (known by his stage name Miaoux Miaoux.) The new 5 piece Franz Ferdinand will be releasing their first sounds in 2018 and have set loose their first single on the world. In 2016, Murphy left the band to focus on family matters and other projects. The band's original co-founders were Alex Kapranos, Nick McCarthy, Bob Hardy, and Paul Thomson. Now that the band are top of mind once more, we did some digging into their past and found out how Franz Ferdinand came to be known as Franz Ferdinand – it involves a horse, an assassination and some good old fashioned alliteration. The album is set for release on the 9th of February, 2018 and is available for pre-order. Franz Ferdinand have just released the new track "Always Ascending" off their forthcoming album with the same name.
