Franz Ferdinand is the self-titled debut album from the band originally released in 2004.
Winner of the 2004 Mercury Music Prize, Franz Ferdinand's debut album was an instant hit. The Glasgow four-piece channelled throwback art-rock through an early noughties Britpop-revival prism.
Franz Ferdinand were, without doubt, the most talked about new British band of the moment when they dropped their self-titled debut album in 2004. Almost a synthesis of the coolest music of the last few years, with some late Britpop crossed with punk-funk and a dash of madness. There are huge numbers of reference points for this album, a great synthesis of fantastic styles that perhaps have never been brought together before. The album is also carried by a stunning array of tunes and riffs that convince every time, bleeding cool, sex and brilliance.
