As reported previously, Franz Ferdinand and Sparks formed a collaborative project titled FFS. As the story goes, Ron and Russell Mael met Franz Ferdinand years ago in Los Angeles when they (FF) were touring behind their debut album. Soon after they recorded a few demos together, but nothing ever came of the sessions due to schedules, etc. Years later Sparks and Franz revisited the idea of recording together when they bumped into each other at Coachella, and in 2014 they finally got around to recording a full album over the span of two weeks. FFS arrives on June 9th and is available to pre-order now through iTunes and Domino Records. Stream the first track "Piss Off" below. For more on FFS, visit them on their newly launched website, Facebook, or Twitter.
