Three combed-over guys in matching suits, swinging from side to side to the beat of their guitar strums is how I like to picture a performance of 'Turn It On', by the always charming Franz Ferdinand. The song seems to have a bit of a timeless quality to it - what time exactly, I don't know. 60s perhaps? That would explain the matching suits, anyway.
It's the highlight, I find, of Franz Ferdinand's most recent album, the electrified and electrical 'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand'. Smooth is the first adjective that pops into my mind when trying to describe the track; the guitar riff is a bit of stylised classic Franz Ferdinand, but Alex Kapranos's vocal delivery is less Scot-rocker than Chuck Bass's voice mail. The song represents, as the themed-ordered chronology of the album states, the early stages of a big night out, and a sexy big night out it must be.
Slick and stylish, this is a Franz Ferdinand that can do no wrong, especially with Today's Track, 'Turn It On'.
