Franz Ferdinand Use Human Bones As Instruments On New Album

Franz Ferdinand have incorporated some unusual recording techniques for their long overdue new album 'Tonight', including human bones.

In an interview with MTV, the group say they bought the bones at an auction in 2007. Speaking on how they were used on the album, frontman Alex Kapranos says:

"I remember we were working on a song called 'Kiss Me' and we wanted to have a real dry, percussive sound in the chorus."

"We had this skeleton in a box that just ended up sitting in the corner of the studio and we all sort of looked at it and decided to experiment with it."

"Nick [McCarthy] had the hands was clapping the bones together, Paul [Thompson] was working with the pelvis bone and a femur."

"We put the teeth in a glass jar and rattled that about. We smacked the ribs together and we got this really weird, f***** up kind of a sound that was wicked."

Franz Ferdinand release the 'Tonight' album in early 2009.
