Franz Ferdinand have completed work on their as-yet-untitled third album, frontman Alex Kapranos has revealed.

The group, who released 'You Could Have It So Much Better' in 2004, are due to release the album next year.

Where as its predecessor was “like a teenager having sex”, Kapranos promised the band's new record was “a bit more assured and friendlier on the dancefloor”.

"Yes it does sound different, and there are different instruments on the record, different tempos, a different attitude to making it," he told the BBC

"But it's always going to sound like a Franz Ferdinand record when it's the four of us making it. It's very much a dance record again this time."

As previously reported on Gigwise
, Franz Ferdinand are expected to perform at next year's Glastonbury Festival after playing a special fundraiser at the event's Somerset home last weekend.
