Scottish indie-rock band Franz Ferdinand is currently on tour in support of their latest release and fifth studio album, Always Ascending. The record, which dropped February 9th via Domino Recording Company, marks the band's first studio album with new member Julian Corrier, and is also the group's first album in over four years following their previous 2013 release Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action.
Franz Ferdinand opened their 18-track set at New York's Brooklyn Steel for the second consecutive night, with the opening track from their new release, "Always Ascending." The group included additional songs from their latest released like "Lazy Boy," "Paper Cages," "Finally," "The Academy Award," "Feel the Love Go," and "Huck and Jim." The band's New York set wrapped up with a 4-track encore, concluded by their 2004 single "This Fire," from their self-titled album. Check out the full setlist from the night below:
