RIGHT THOUGHTS

RIGHT ACTION
FRANZ FERDINAND
DOMINO RECORD COMPANY
Franz Ferdinand album features fresh sounds
In the popular music industry, the labels "indie" and "alt rock" get thrown around, tacked on and worn out like a bandana on Willie Nelson's tour bus. But Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand, with grinding guitar interplay, deadpan vocals and a Bauhaus aesthetic, have helped popularize the alternative genre and define those terms since their debut hit in 2004's "Take Me Out." On the new album "Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action," released today, the band has proven it's still the hottest thing out of Scotland since kilts and bappipes.
While "Right Thoughts" offers plenty of the tried-and-true Franz Ferdinand in songs likethe upbeat opener "Right Action," they also show a newfound willingness to experiment with their sound. Several tracks show an emotional depth and a mellower mood not present on much of the 2009 release "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand."
"Love Illumination" is set
against a gitty sonic background of rhythm guitar as leading man Alex Kapranos songs, "When you're happy from a dream / Is it hard to work out what is real?" An eerie organ, reminiscent of the electronic claviole keyboard used in the classic 1960's song "Telstar" by The Tornados, comes in with a cascading solo halfway through. It's a daring choice musically, and a nice contrast to the conventional instruments.
Likewise, songs such as "Fresh Strawberries" and "The Universe Expanded" add to the diversity of the album with a wide array of vocal effects. In the former, a pair of airy female voices harmonize behind Kapranos instead of his
bandmates, and the latter features Doo-Wop inspired vocal effects instead of bass guitar. These deep, percussive voices on "The Universe Expanded" create a hypnotic crescendo that builds until the drummer kicks in on the chorus.

Although the album often benefits from these forays into new effects and sounds, the move away from a traditional indie rock feel doesn't always pay off. The second song "Evil Eye" is a creaky, haunted house sort of melody straight out of the soundtrack to a bad Addams Family movie.
"Right Thoughts" is a solid step forward for Franz Ferdinand as they've proven themselves to be more than just another post-punk band from the UK. Yet, clunkers like "Evil Eye" and the annoyingly frenzied "Bullet" are disruptive to the album's flow and prevent it from being great.
