We've been hearing a few things from Franz Ferdinand in the last few months. Behind the scenes shots, a live track here and there.

Here the boys pump through the otherwise slinky 'Ulysses', the first track from their upcoming third record Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. Alex looks as sharp as ever - and Bob looks as bored as ever - so all things seem to be in order. Not sure why all them fancy looking microphones are dotted around the room though. The thing sounds like it was recorded on a mobile phone.
