i always come back.

“[EX:RE] it was a project that came from some writing i had done to try and process a break up. it’s also, i guess, quite a reflective piece, so I wanted to play with Ex:Re as an x-ray to look deep inside yourself but also to kind of try and understand that time. i think the most helpful thing has been about sort of analyzing patterns in behavior and i know for me to kind of then discover after making the record (like oh) maybe my relationship with alcohol is actually not very good, or something like that. these kind of really personal findings that i was never expecting to find by writing about missing someone. i think it’s had much more of a positive effect then i realized it would ever have. i like to think that it’s sort of a soundtrack to different memories i have of being alone and missing that person. each song is set in a different place, like a real place and a real memory. [new york is set in new york] and so i wanted it to sound kind of like a city and police sirens were re-created by joesephine’s cello. i guess it’s just like trying to create for a listener the experience of what it felt to be in that memory.”

This is pretty much the definitive collection of Franz Ferdinand odds-and-ends (as far as I know). I’ve posted this before, in various places, but this collection has some additions. It is split into three volumes. (Disclaimer: There may be a few duplicates in the volumes, or slight errors in the tracklisting. I am only human.)

Download, please reblog to spread the love, and enjoy.
