The Scottish art-rockers have debuted two new tunes.

The Electric Picnic-bound Franz Ferdinand have officially debuted two of the tracks from their Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action album, which drops just before they visit Stradbally.
‘Right Action’ and ‘Love Illumination’ both hark back to their debut album, with lots of jagged guitar, punch the air choruses and psychedelic ‘60s flourishes.
