Franz Ferdinand won't be releasing their new album until next year, which will come as a great disappointment to fans.
Frontman Alex Kapronas told BBC 6Music that the band still had "quite a bit of mixing" still left to do on their third album.
Currently untitled, Kapronas explained how the group were still trying to decide upon a name for the delayed-release, which should have been released this Winter.
"We were gonna call it 'Bite Hard' at one point because there was a song called 'Bite Hard' and we weren't gonna use that as a song, but liked the phrase," says Alex.
"It's quite suggestive but apparently in the States if you say something 'bites' it means it sucks, so if something bites hard, it sucks really badly. So we thought; 'No we'll choose another title.'"
Franz Ferdinand meanwhile, will be playing a tour of intimate venues later this month, where they will air some of the new material.
