Released early January 2025, ‘The Human Fear’ is Franz Ferdinand’s sixth studio album, focusing on the concept of “searching for the thrill of being human via fears" as described by frontman Alex Kapranos.
The album touches on fears such as social isolation, the fear of leaving an institution, and fear of staying or leaving a relationship.
Estelle Clifford joined Jack Tame to give her thoughts on the album.
