Album Out Now



[FFS_PissOff_PR]


“Together they're FFS, a mutually flattering amalgamation that transcends limitations built into rock's hoariest cliché, the supergroup... the combination flexes and struts gracefully, fluidly, as if it had been waiting patiently to do this for years.” – NPR

“The record is a 12-track collection that perfectly mixes Franz Ferdinand’s knack for taut rock jams with Spark’s ornate flourishes (particularly Russell’s soaring falsetto).” – Entertainment Weekly

“Alex Kapranos and his compatriots are equal to the task of blending their earnest aesthetic with the pinwheeling madness that has defined Sparks since the early ’70s. The beauty of FFS is that Franz benefits from the Maels’ quirky brilliance, while the Sparks braintrust receives a high-voltage surge of indie-rock adrenaline…FFS may be the blueprint for future musical cross-pollination.” - Magnet

“If you don’t like this record, you are either a lobotomised eunuch or a British restaurant ritic. Either grow some disco balls or, for fuck’s sake, piss off – pop music is not for you.” – The Talkhouse

To celebrate the release of their self-titled album, FFS – the unique collaboration between Franz Ferdinand and Sparks – have revealed the video to the album track “Piss Off.” PRESS HERE<http://po.st/PissOff> to watch.



The video, a fun and anarchic part-illustrated kung-fu-inspired caper, taking place in a futuristic city landscape, was directed by Rob Chandler (www.spaceagefilms.co.uk<http://www.spaceagefilms.co.uk>).



FFS, out now on Domino, was recorded at London’s RAK Studios in London and produced by Grammy-award winner John Congleton (St Vincent, David Byrne, Anna Calvi).

The self-titled debut album, FFS, is available digitally and on CD, and also as 16 track double vinyl + limited edition double color vinyl special edition & deluxe CD editions featuring extra tracks.
