FFS = Franz Ferdinand and Sparks Collaborations donâ€™t work, or thatâ€™s what FFS would have us believe on their debut album. When the seminal Los Angeles duo Sparks and Glasgow-based quartet Franz Ferdinand decided to record together, it was a flawed and potentially disastrous idea, right? Wrong, as â€˜FFSâ€™ is one of the strongest albums of either bandsâ€™ career. Produced by Grammy-award winning John Congleton (St Vincent, David Byrne) at Londonâ€™s RAK Studios, the album â€˜FFSâ€™ took 15 days to complete. 'Kimono My House'-era Sparks fans will recognize how â€˜FFSâ€™ highlights their classic â€˜pop rockâ€™ DNA, and Franz Ferdinand fans wonâ€™t be dissapointed to hear the band at their peak of their powers as they bring their exhilaratingly unique and witty modern rock sound to the collaboration. Very much a new project, FFS doesnâ€™t truly sound like either band, but a striking and fascinating mutation. So in the right hands, collaborations DO work, and beautifully. The strength of the two bands is bigger than the sum of the parts.
