Franz Ferdinand delay album

5 months ago 12th Jun 13:15

Franz Ferdinand have postponed their new album.

The follow-up to 2005's 'You Could Have It So Much Better' was due for release later this year but now won't go on sale until 2009.

Frontman Alex Kapranos told BBC6Music that they still have "quite a bit of mixing" to do on their third album.

He also revealed the record still doesn't have a title, after running into a few language difficulties.

Alex said: "We were gonna call it 'Bite Hard' at one point because there was a song called 'Bite Hard' and we weren't gonna use that as a song, but liked the phrase.

"It's quite suggestive but apparently in the States if you say something 'bites' it means it sucks, so if something bites hard, it sucks really badly. So we thought, 'No we'll choose another title.' "
