The Scottish band will release 'Always Ascending,' their first album in five years, next month.

The promo accompanies the title track of their fifth album, due in February 2018.

'Always Ascending' marks the first Franz Ferdinand recording without guitarist Nick McCarthy.

Franz Ferdinand offered a ray of hope for fans, saying his absence may not last forever.

Since the release of their fourth studio album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, Franz Ferdinand have been fairly quiet. Until now.

Franz Ferdinand were on tour in Ireland over the weekend and unveiled some new music that will be included on their forthcoming album (expected to be released later this year). The band also payed tribute to the late Donna Summer at the show by playing an abbreviated cover of her hit song "I Feel Love". Check it out:
