Franz Ferdinand's new album, The Human Fear, delves into complex emotional themes, particularly focusing on fear. Frontman Alex Kapranos emphasizes the excitement found in confronting fear, while bassist Bob Hardy challenges listeners about their life's experiences regarding fear and excitement. The conversation reflects on Hardy's evolving motivation from amusement to craftsmanship in the music process, and the band's exploration of cultural influences, particularly in the track "Black Eyelashes." This session concluded with a performance from the band, showcasing the new album's themes and musical growth.
"People don't like admitting to feeling fear... fear is often the most exciting element in life, or overcoming it."
"If you live your life without putting yourself in a situation where you ever feel afraid, then it's gonna be a pretty boring life. Are you really living?"
