The classic indie album being discussed on this episode of the XS Long Player is the 2004 eponymous debut from Franz Ferdinand.
Who better to talk about the 2004 Grammy-winning, Mercury nominated LP than the band's frontman Alex Kapranos?
Alex shares his stories of the early days in the band, how they developed their unique sound and what the hidden message in Top 20 track "Michael" is all about.
