Release Notes:
Franz Ferdinand are welcomed into the Late Night Tales family with a diverse 20
track selection of musical influences, inspirations, diversions and discoveries.
The quartet have released four studio albums including their 2004 self-titled
debut album, which went gold just about anywhere with a record store, as well as
nabbing the Mercury Music Prize and a pair of Brits for Best British Group and
Best British Rock Act. TheyÆve subsequently gone on to release You Could Have It
So Much Better, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand and last yearÆs Right Thoughts, Right
Words, Right Action.
Announcing itself with Franz FerdinandÆs own exclusive cover version of the
hugely collectible æLeaving My Old Life BehindÆ, originally performed by
Jonathan Halper, (which appeared on the cult Kenneth Anger movie Puce Moment),
their Late Night Tales mix flows between dark and light, introspection and
affection, dancing and horizontal appreciation. Hear them join the dots between
Can, Serge Gainsbourg and The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, Sandy's
Nelson's percussion work-out 'Let There Be Drums', the irrepressible Ian Dury,
funky sensations Zapp and the Disco Dub Band and sonic explorer Lee æScratchÆ
Perry. Record collectors will note the inclusion of Carrie Cleveland's Northern
Soul anthem 'Love Will Set You Free' - the LP attracts sales of ú300+. Also
included are a set of waywardly brilliant cover versions: Justus K÷hnckeÆs dizzy
interpretation of Neil YoungÆs æOld ManÆ and R. Stevie Moore's æIÆm Only
Sleeping'. It wouldnÆt be right for Franz Ferdinand to produce a mix such as
this without a nod to the country that brought them together, so GlasgowÆs Life
Without Buildings, whose uplifting æNew TownÆ appears alongside æReach For The
DeadÆ by Boards Of Canada. As they leave us wondering and wandering with
American SpringÆs Brian Wilson-produced æSweet MountainÆ, we take leave of our
senses and suitcases on this tour bus of your mind. WeÆve visited soul, funk,
reggae, pop, Krautrock and others besides, but before we depart, Franz frontman
Alex Kapranos provides a final farewell with the self penned story
'Defibrillator'.
When we first got the band together I made Alex a tape for his car, an old Merc
estate that we spent a lot of time in, going to and from rehearsal spaces and
gigs. All of our gear and the four of us could (almost) comfortably fit inside.
It was all stuff I was listening to at the time, Dr Alimantado, Judas Priest,
Led Zeppelin, Plaid, Johnny Dangerous amongst others. An ecletic mix or
completely random and disjointed depending on your outlook, it was
representative of all our individual idiosyncrasies that merged to form the
sound of the band, although I wasn't aware of this at the time. With this mix we
tried to a similar thing, all of us selected the tunes, based on what we listen
to on tour together and at home alone, any sustained moods or flows that occur
are purely accidental. Oh yeah, the Merc estate got totalled and towed away with
the tape still in the player.
