Glasgow’s Franz Ferdinand will be releasing Blood — a dub version of their recently released third album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand — June 1 on Domino Records.
The album was mixed by Dan Carey, who mixed Tonight as well. Originally Blood was featured as part of the box set and double disc versions of Tonight, but the new version will include an extra song, “Be Afraid”, and a new version of “Dream Again”. Blood is being released in conjunction with this past weekend’s Record Store Day, and the group is planning to release 500 limited edition vinyl versions of the record exclusively to select independent record stores.
As well as pumping out their second record of 2009, Franz Ferdinand kicked off their North American tour last night in Denver, CO at the Ogden Theatre, which will end on May 8 at Providence, RI’s Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel.

Thanks for the update. I had been bidding on the expensive version, but now I know I don’t need to.
