Product Description

Franz Ferdinand, the Scottish indie rock band, returns with their fifth studio album, "Always Ascending," released on February 9, 2018, under Domino Recording Co. Clocking in at a concise 39 minutes, this album is a dynamic journey through the band's signature sound, infused with fresh energy and experimentation.

"Always Ascending" opens with its title track, setting the tone for an album that is both familiar and innovative. Franz Ferdinand's signature guitar-driven sound is evident throughout, but the band doesn't shy away from exploring new sonic territories. Tracks like "Lazy Boy" and "Paper Cages" showcase a more electronic and danceable side, while "Finally" and "The Academy Award" bring back the raw, energetic rock that fans have come to love.

The album also delves into more introspective themes, with tracks like "Lois Lane" and "Huck And Jim" offering a glimpse into the band's poetic side. "Glimpse Of Love" is a standout track, blending a catchy melody with poignant lyrics, while "Feel The Love Go" and "Slow Don't Kill Me Slow" close out the album on a high note, showcasing the band's ability to craft memorable, anthemic tunes.

"Always Ascending" is a testament to Franz Ferdinand's enduring appeal and their ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to their music, this album offers something for everyone.

This LP is pressed on 145g vinyl.

  • Pink Sound Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    EzjfeTsufsiyi0225 February 2025United States🇺🇸

    Amazing duplicate! The pink shade is really lovely. It includes a static-free sleeve, top-notch! The sound is powerful and punchy, crystal clear, no surface noise, and flat too. Grabbed it for around 20 bucks and super thrilled.

  • Vibrant Pink Obsession

    I thought it'd be a soft pink or maybe lilac. Not at all, it's a vibrant pink. I'm obsessed!

  • Pink Vinyl's Quality Control Issues

    3 out of 5 stars
    TopBeaxmaw18 March 2024United States🇺🇸

    I've gotta say, my thoughts are mainly about the vinyl's quality and vibe. I'm not the biggest fan of this band, but I've enjoyed some of their tunes over the years. This record's got that sweet, swirly pink candy vinyl, but sadly, it ain't the quietest pressing. Those calm bits can get a tad annoying with all the ticks and pops. It's not the worst, though, 'cause the music kinda covers 'em up. The mastering's spot on, with great dynamics and killer bass—are labels finally figuering out that hyper-compressed vinyl mastering's a joke? I swear, I've been noticing better vinyl mastering lately. Let me tell ya, if your top-notch, priciest product's poorly made, you'll soon be known as a brand that couldn't care less about its customers. Excuses aside, when folks shell out $20-30 on a single album, you'd think quality control'd be a priority—but in 2018, that's STILL not the norm. So if you get a lemon—TAKE IT BACK. It's the only power us consumers have, and the only thing that'll make the labels listen. Still, this LP's a real looker!
