Today Franz Ferdinand has shared the video for its single “Night Or Day,” the latest track off the group’s forthcoming studio album, The Human Fear (Domino Records), which will be released on January 10, 2025. The band has previously released the single “Audacious.”
The track is accompanied by an imaginative, dramatic, and aesthetically stunning black-and-white video directed by Rianne White, who said: “This song emulates the turbulent, transcendent immensity of feelings that live and breathe within four walls. Born with Franz Ferdinand in their Scottish studio, where they recorded this beauty, “Night or Day” was a powerful meeting of visual and sound, all caught in the eye of 16mm black-and-white film. These are the storms we dance in!”
The band’s Alex Kapranos added: “Life may never be easy, but damn, we’ll make sure we live it up night or day. Night into day. We collaborated with the hugely talented Rianne White to capture the Drama-Noir of the environment where we recorded this and the rest of the LP. She has a sensitivity and energy that exploded into that space, giving a glimpse of the world where we made the music. Storm shakes the room and boom… the dark heart of Scotland beats strong. Filmed entirely on location at AYR Studios.”
