Franz Ferdinand Unveil New Song “Night or Day”: Stream

6 days ago 5



Franz Ferdinand are back with “Night or Day,” a new song that serves as the second single off their upcoming album The Human Fear.

Built on a bustling piano part, “Night or Day” is a disco-adjacent yacht rock tune with warm harmonies, a syncopated rhythm section, and a powerful vocal performance from frontman Alex Kapranos. Helping add to the song’s dramatic air is a music video directed by Rianne White, which is rendered entirely in black and white and features plenty of noir-esque hues. Watch the video for “Night or Day” below.

“Life may never be easy, but damn, we’ll make sure we live it up night or day. Night into day,” Kapranos wrote in a press release. “We collaborated with the hugely talented Rianne White to capture the Drama-Noir of the environment where we recorded this and the rest of the LP. She has a sensitivity and energy which exploded into that space, giving a glimpse of the world where we made the music. Storm shake the room and boom… the dark heart of Scotland beats strong. Filmed entirely on location at AYR Studios.”

Franz Ferdinand are gearing up to release The Human Fear, their sixth studio album and their first since 2018, on January 10th, 2025. They previously offered lead single “Audacious” as a preview for the album.
