Recorded at AYR studios in Scotland, the 11 songs on The Human Fear all allude to some deep-set human fears and how overcoming and accepting these fears drives and defines our lives.
The Barrowlands has a special meaning to the band, as the music video for the album's lead single Audacious was filmed there.
Talking about the album, Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand said: "Making this record was one of the most life-affirming experiences I’ve had, but it’s called The Human Fear.
"Fear reminds you that you're alive. I think we all are addicted in some way to the buzz it can give us. How we respond to it shows how we are human.
"So here’s a bunch of songs searching for the thrill of being human via fears. Not that you’d necessarily notice on first listen."
Tickets go on sale from 10am on Friday, September 20 via gigsinscotland.com.
