After a few years of declining popularity while watching the band that idolized them (Arctic Monkeys, who even joined their label) continue to churn out hits (while losing a bit of steam, but that's besides the point), Franz Ferdinand decided to reinvent themselves. Always Ascending came out late last year, and the upcoming fifth Franz Ferdinand album of the same name was announced alongside. It was a relatively electronic, electro funk rock and house influenced swaggering track short of an anthem because it wasn't so catchy, similar to the direction The Killers have been going with last year's Wonderful Wonderful.

Playlist- Week of 1/1

Ah, the first playlist of the new year. Legendary- Welshly Arms Czech One- King Krule Fairytale- Milky Chance Blossom- Milky Chance Portrait In Black and Blue- King Krule The Noose of Jah City- King Krule Prague '99- Blaenavon I've been listening to a lot of King Krule and Milky Chance this week, two really goo and pretty chill artists that manage to fuse lectronics with real instruments very well, and capture that feeling of a man sitting alone with his guitar and singing (verky folksy).
