Description
Franz Ferdinand present a 20-track greatest hits collection showcasing the world-conquering success of the band’s career to date.Set for release on Friday March 11th 2022 on Domino, ‘Hits To The Head’ also features two brand-new tracks “Billy Goodbye” and ‘Curious’, produced by Alex Kapranos, Julian Corrie and Stuart Price (Dua Lipa, Madonna, Pet Shop Boys).
Frontman Alex Kapranos talked about the similarities between putting together the compilation and getting ready for a show saying, “It’s the same as writing a set-list for a festival: you want to play the songs you know people want to hear. The hits. Bring the hits to the head. The heart. The feet. That means obvious singles, but also songs you know have a special meaning for both band and audience.
Armed with an astute sense of what constitutes the “classic pop song” (famously proclaiming that they write music “to make girls dance to”) the music of Franz Ferdinand continues to resonate globally, and over the course of nearly two decades they’ve become, commercially and critically, one of the biggest UK bands in the world, selling over 10 million albums, 14 platinum albums, winning Brit, Ivor Novello, Mercury Prize awards, and Grammy nominations.
