Franz Ferdinand have blessed our ears with another new track, ‘Hooked’; the latest single to be taken from their new studio album, The Human Fear, to be released this Friday 10 January on Domino.

Produced with Mark Ralph, who previously worked with the band on their 2013 release Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, the new album promises to showcase Franz Ferdinand at their most immediate, upbeat, and life-affirming. The band embraces their classic style by going for bold pop elements while diving into deep human emotions.

Sliding into midnight, it’s a nighttime prowl of a song. If we all have the human fear, then that’s alright when you’re hooked. I thought I knew what love was… but then I met you.” – Alex Kapranos

The band have previously released singles ‘Audacious’ and ‘Night Or Day’, and an Audacious music video to boot.
