"These Scottish boys banged out three of the past decade's most dazzling rock albums in one five-year rush... they return sounding hungry for blood, with all their twin-guitar glam-punk strut." - Rolling Stone
"It's the Glaswegian dance-rock ambassadors' best work since their 2004 arrival: Confident and freshly energized, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action captures the ease of pressure that comes with knowing that a decade-old band can't be co-opted as a cool new thing. It's a sound that should never go out of style...So here's to a Cher-like run of triumphant returns, in which Franz Ferdinand comes back each decade with hits engineered to remind us of the joy of rock n' roll." - NPR
Franz Ferdinand are streaming their internationally lauded fourth studio album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action exclusively via NPR's First Listen a week before its release.  This exuberant, unencumbered record is the first from the Glasgow band since 2009's Tonight.  Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action will be released by Domino on August 27th.  PRESS HERE<http://www.npr.org/2013/08/19/210175096/first-listen-franz-ferdinand-right-thoughts-right-words-right-action> to stream the entire album.
