Franz Ferdinand - Hits To The Head

Hits To The Head is the definitive, career-spanning document of Glasgow’s premier art-rock exports. This collection gathers 18 "stone-cold classics" that transformed the indie landscape of the 2000s and 2010s, alongside two brand-new tracks, "Billy Goodbye" and "Curious." Since their debut, Franz Ferdinand has mastered the art of the sophisticated dance-floor filler, and this compilation serves as a rhythmic, high-contrast journey through their evolution as masters of the melodic hook.

From the world-conquering riff of "Take Me Out" to the synth-heavy swagger of "Love Illumination" and the disco-inflected pulse of "Right Action," the album highlights the band’s unwavering commitment to style and kinetic energy. The new tracks prove that their "hand-crafted" approach to songwriting remains as sharp as ever, blending their signature angular guitars with fresh, infectious grooves. It is a celebratory, no-filler retrospective of a band that redefined what it means to be an indie icon.
