Franz Ferdinand Have A New Pro-Sex Dance Song For You

I’m not sure how I feel about “Katherine Kiss Me,” a new song that Franz Ferdinand performed at Glastonbury this weekend. On the one hand, I’m glad to see the band consolidating its strengths (bouncy numbers with raised eyebrows and lyrical come-ons) rather than unleashing some rock opera that proves its real artists bona fides. But the song doesn’t add any new twists to make up for its lack of energy, which is especially striking when compared to the band’s best material. It’s unfair to judge a new song from a live YouTube clip, but still: Are we seeing diminishing returns or an exciting appetizer? [YouTube]
