Franz Ferdinand Could Release Several New Albums

Franz Ferdinand are struggling to decide on the direction of their new album and they have recorded so many different styles of songs, they could record several albums instead of just one.

"We have like 15 songs and there won't be 15 on the album, so we have potentially four different albums," drummer Paul Thomson told the Daily Star. "There's no track listing yet as we can't decide. There's four, five or six albums, depending which tracks we use. Many different combinations would make different types of albums."

When asked about how Franz Ferdinand would release the record, Thomson pointed out the band had no desire to release any free songs.

"We still think in terms of albums. Although, people who buy music probably still think less like that than they have done just because of the culture of downloading songs." Added Thomson "I don't feel we have competition at the moment, we are a bit out of the loop."

The group recently revealed they are getting more "wild" and "experimental" on their third long-player.
