As they showed at Coachella, Franz Ferdinand is still right. The Scottish quartet of Alex Kapranos, Nick McCarthy, Bob Hardy and Paul Thomson proved the cream of the post-punk crop with their 2004 and ’05 albums (“Franz Ferdinand” and “You Could Have it So Much Better,” respectively) before experimenting with synths on their not-so-creamy third album in 2009. One of the highlights of those live shows earlier in the year was the song “Right Action,” a delirious disco-punk outing that fits with their earlier work. And today they announced that their new album “Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action” would be out Aug. 27 on Domino. Resume your spasmodic moves.
