Franz Ferdinand announced their first extended tour in three years back in February, and the Scottish rockers shook off the rust all across North America and Europe this past summer. It was a reunion of sorts for the band, members of which have been busy with side projects like FFS and BNQT since the release of 2013’s Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action. And now that reunion has given birth to a new album, Always Ascending, which will drop on February 9th. It’s the band’s first LP since parting ways with guitarist Mike McCarthy in 2016.

Recorded at RAK Studios in London and Motorbass in Paris with French producer Philippe Zdar (Phoenix, Beastie Boys), the album is said to find the band “broadening their palate.” In a press release, singer Alex Kapranos calls the album “simultaneously futuristic and naturalistic.”

That description applies to Always Ascending‘s title track, which they’ve released as the album’s first single. Stretching out over five minutes, the song expands on the disco-pop Franz Ferdinand has long embraced by blending trippy space-rock flourishes with grounded vocal melodies and a vibrant chorus. Listen to it above.

You can catch a preview of some of the band’s new songs during a launch event at Paris’ Point Ephémère, which the band will live stream on its Facebook page at 2:30 p.m. CST today.

If you miss that, rest assured that Franz Ferdinand are also be heading out on a massive world tour in December. See their full itinerary below, as well as the album’s tracklist and album art.
