Franz Ferdinand have shared their new single ‘Night Or Day’, alongside a music video directed by Rianne White.
The track is the second to be lifted from the band’s forthcoming album ‘The Human Fear’, following previous single ‘Audacious’. The new video was shot at AYR Studios in Scotland, where the band recorded the album.
“Life may never be easy, but damn, we’ll make sure we live it up night or day,” frontman Alex Kapranos explains. “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 which exploded into that space, giving a glimpse of the world where we made the music. Storm shake the room and boom… the dark heart of Scotland beats strong. Filmed entirely on location at AYR Studios.”
White adds: “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 Human Fear’ will arrive via Domino on 10th January.
