By: Macon Prickett Jul. 12, 2018
Franz Ferdinand have shared a pair of remix bundles of "Always Ascending,"the title track of their much-acclaimed fifth album, released in February of this year. Available today, the first package includes remixes by Cassius, Prins Thomas and a Nina Kraviz House Mix. The second package, titled Nina Kraviz v Franz Ferdinand, features a Nina Kraviz Techno Mix and a Nina Kraviz Late Night Remix. Stay tuned for more news about remixes of album tracks.

Paul Thomson of the band said of the remixes: On this release we asked 3 very different remixers for their interpretation of 'Always Ascending', most of them chose to use the constantly rising Shepard Tone but that's about all they have in common. Trusted Parisian party-starters Cassius go for a carnival-esque rammy while over the course of Nina Kraviz's 3 (!!!) mixes she tears deeper into the upside down, finding the darkest corner of the track and leaving you there.
Additionally, having completed a run of sold-out shows in the US and most recently played a celebratory homecoming slot at Glasgow's TRNSMT festival, the band continue to play festivals across the summer including Lollapolooza in Chicago next month. Check out full tour details below.
