![]() That is owed in major part to the dance sound that simmered below the surface until their third album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand (my favorite of theirs). ![]() For a band that will most assuredly never reach the fame they saw with their first single, which seemed like a gimmick at the time, the name is strangely optimistic. The pun, at least to me, is that the name of their newest album is Always Ascending. From that moment on, Franz Ferdinand has dwelled deeper and deeper into Indie status, but the music they have been releasing has been all the better for it. I rehash this all not to trounce all over the memory of Modest Mouse, a once great band who has gone mostly dormant, but to parallel the career trajectory of the two bands. The two bands are almost inextricably linked in the popular imagination for the singular moment in which both bands seemed omnipresent, except for the fact that Modest Mouse was on its way out after a string of Indie masterpieces, reaching their culmination in Good News For People Who Love Bad News, and Franz Ferdinand was just getting started.
