Franz Ferdinand are set to be more 'experimental' on their third album, according to frontman Alex Kapranos.Speaking to the BBC about the recording of the new material, he explained: "We have been doing a lot of experimenting in the studio with [producer] Dan [Carey]. He's made us record the album in a much wilder way than we're used to."
"We did this thing in the studio called the Doppler Effect which is like when you are on the high street and you hear an ambulance go past and the sound of the siren pitch changes when it passes you."
"We were doing something similar on a track called 'What She Came For'. We were recording the guitar in this big hall next to our studio and Nick climbed into the ceiling and fed a microphone cable down through the rafters above the guitar speaker."
"Then when we were recording Dan was swinging this microphone above the guitar amp and we got this incredible sound."
The follow-up to 2005's 'You Could Have It So Much Better' is likely to be released in early 2009.
