Franz Ferdinand have released a new video for “Night Or Day,” the song is lifted off the Scottish band’s forthcoming LP, The Human Fear, available on January 10, 2025 via Domino Records.

“Night Or Day” is paired with a black & white video, directed by Rianne White who said: “This song emulates the turbulent, transcendent immensity of feelings that live and breathe within four walls. Born with Franz Ferdinand in their Scottish studio, where they recorded this beauty, “Night or Day” was a powerful meeting of visual and sound, all caught in the eye of 16mm black and white film. These are the storms we dance in!”

The band’s Alex Kapranos added: “Life may never be easy, but damn, we’ll make sure we live it up night or day. Night into day. We collaborated with the hugely talented Rianne White to capture the Drama-Noir of the environment where we recorded this and the rest of the LP. She has a sensitivity and energy which exploded into that space, giving a glimpse of the world where we made the music. Storm shake the room and boom… the dark heart of Scotland beats strong. Filmed entirely on location at AYR Studios.”

The Human Fear was Produced with Mark Ralph, who previously worked with them on their 2013 album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, the new album showcases Franz at their most immediate, upbeat and life-affirming. Recorded at AYR studios in Scotland, the 11-songs on The Human Fear all allude to some deep-set human fears and how overcoming and accepting these fears drives and defines our lives.
