Franz Ferdinand are ready to begin the work on their new album

Franz Ferdinand guitarist Nick McCarthy revealed the band's plans for upcoming future. According to his words, they are going to devote next year to recording new album. He also claimed that Franz Ferdinand will not go on a world tour until 2013.

"We're thinking of doing something again after a bit of a sabbatical. We'd toured to excess and needed to enjoy playing again. It is going really well", claimed he.

Nick McCarthy added: "We used to think, what's wrong with recording an album a year? Then it was, 'Oh no. We're changing the system a bit'. These days people write an album for a year and tour for two years. It takes forever".

Franz Ferdinand released their last to date album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand in 2009.
