Scottish indie-rockers Franz Ferdinand performed “Feel The Love Go” last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
“Feel The Love Go” is taken from the band’s latest album, Always Ascending, which was released earlier this year via Domino Records. The post-punk track opens with slick, electronic beats and pulsating synths, and features frontman Alex Kapranos’ seductive lead vocals, dirty guitar riffs and an impressive saxophone solo.
Kapranos is bursting with more energy and smooth, eccentric dance moves (think David Bowie or David Byrne) than most rock frontmen these days, which is especially incredible given that Kapranos is now 46 years old. The performance also features a surprise guest on saxophone: former Contortions frontman James Chance.
