.....but Kapranos has admitted that he lost enthusiasm for a time following the release of the band's third album, 2009's "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand."
"[The fun] went out when I felt I was working to someone else's schedule or deadline," Kapranos recalled in an extensive new interview with the Observer. "I'm not naturally the kind of person who works well under those conditions. In fact, my whole adult life before that point, if I'd been in a job where I felt I was under pressure, I would usually just jack in the job. And suddenly I couldn't do that any more. But maybe ... Maybe, that's what we did after the third record."
Asked whether the band actually split up for a period, Kapranos replied: "I met up withBob [Hardy, bassist] in Orkney about two years ago. I wanted to split the band up, because in my head it felt like one of those jobs ... the ones I had to jack in. I didn't like the routine and the obligations. And whether those obligations lay with my contemporaries, my peers, my record label, the fans, the audiences or maybe myself ... I felt ..." Kapranos then stuttered, the writer notes, before adding: "It was time to, erm, stop that."
Later in the interview, Kapranos explained that Franz Ferdinand have since rediscovered their old spark by returning to core values. Claiming that endless touring and record label obligations had "shaved off" the band's trademark "quirky" and "odd" qualities, he said: "But when we came to making the new album, we decided that oddness was just us! And we should enjoy that: it should be at the heart of our existence if we want to continue."
