Take Me Out

Franz Ferdinand

Domino

WE SAY

No soundclip. We're awfully late on this due to not getting the single before the Christmas break but we wanted to go on record and say that Take Me Out has convinced us they're worth the hype (for our friends at the broadsheets, they're the most raved about new band of the moment). It's angular, alternative, fresh but a really good, melodic song nonetheless. A great signing for Domino too as they celebrate their tenth anniversary and cement their position as one of the UK's most important indies.
