Franz Make No Bones About New Track
Franz Ferdinand have revealed their rather spooky choice of instrument for new tune, 'Katharine Kiss Me', from their forthcoming third studio album.
The band's guitarist Nick McCarthy told the Daily Star's Playlist that they've been using a human xylophone!
"My favourite part is the human bones percussion", he revealed, "It sounds like a dead man dancing - because it is."
Brings new meaning to the expression "shake, rattle and roll".
Franz Ferdinand's new album - which the band previously revealed will have plenty of African influences - is expected to hit the shelves around October this year.
