NEW VINYL LP ON DOMINO 2025

180 GRAM VINYL.

The album showcases Franz at their most immediate, upbeat and life-affirming, unashamedly going for the pop-jugular in classic Franz style. The 11-songs on The Human Fear all allude to some deep-set human fears and how overcoming and accepting these fears drives and defines our lives.

Talking about the album, Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand said:

Making this record was one of the most life-affirming experiences Ive had, but its called The Human Fear. Fear reminds you that you’re alive. I think we all are addicted in some way to the buzz it can give us. How we respond to it shows how we are human. So heres a bunch of songs searching for the thrill of being human via fears. Not that youd necessarily notice on first listen.
