Franz Ferdinand have almost finished work on their "sinister youthful" new album.
The Scottish rockers have been in the studio for almost two years working on the follow up to 2005's 'You Could Have It So Much Better' and now frontman Alex Kapranos says the album is nearly ready.
He said: "The album is finished but there is a little bit of mixing left, a lot of which is being done by Mike Fraser who's known for doing a lot of heavier rock stuff like Aerosmith and AC/DC."
Admitting the band's new songs are much darker lyrically than their previous material, Alex promised the tracks will still be high-energy.
He added to America's Rolling Stone website: "It's actually quite a sinister record in terms of mood but what I've been searching for on this record is that really naive energy you have has a kid when you hear music and you can't control your body's reaction to it ? you can't help flinging yourself around the room and bouncing up and down on your mattress and literally bouncing off the wall. It's that youthful optimism we've been seeking out."
Franz Ferdinand are scheduled to release their as-yet untitled new album in January.
