Franz Ferdinand Amputate Limbs In New 'Evil Eye' Clip

With a parental advisory, Glasgow's energetic four-piece Franz Ferdinand have unleashed a brand new clip on the world, the band's tune Evil Eye given some gory treatment for a pretty funny exploration of classic horror.

And who wouldn't want kick-start the morning with the amputation of arms and a large man's stomach morphed into the enlarged face of frontman Alex Kapranos?

See what we mean below.


The sickly sweet video was co-produced by stomach-face Kapranos and Todd Terje, recorded London, Scotland and Oslo, and brought to life (so to speak) by U.S. film-maker Diane Martel.

Kapranos explains further: “The video is a gruesome blood orgy eye stab death romp wide-oh creep necro fest. Play this on the telly if you dare, you fuckers.”

Franz Ferdinand are set to burst Down Under for Harvest Festival – if the event stays afloat -  joining a lineup including Massive Attack, Eels and Justin Vernon's Volcano Choir, to name a short few – see the initial lineup announcement and some recent additions .

The popular act released their first record in four years, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, earlier this year, and was given the all clear by theMusic's Pete Laurie: “…if their goal was to make another record of catchy, tight-jeaned alt-rock, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action more than delivers”.
