Franz Ferdinand Blood Album Due In June

Franz Ferdinand are to release a new album titled 'Blood' in Summer.

The record is a dub version of their recent studio album 'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand' (released in January).

'Blood' was mixed by Dan Carey, who also produced 'Tonight...' and will be released on June 1st as CD, vinyl and digital formats - although a limited edition pressing of 500 vinyl copies were available on Saturday (April 18th) as part of Record Store Day.

'Blood' has also been available to fans who bought the special edition boxset and double disc edition of 'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand', but this new version adds extra song 'Be Afraid' (a new take of 'Dream Again').

The band have just announced an Autumn tour of the UK, see those dates here.
