Franz Ferdinand lead singer Alex Kapranos has revealed that the group's forthcoming album will be titled Tonight.

Speaking to NME, the frontman divulged that the record, their first since 2005's You Could Have It So Much Better, is "music for the dancefloor".

He said: "It's music of the night, so it seems like the most appropriate title. It suggests a performance too.

"I can picture a marquee outside a theatre saying 'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand', there's a sense of anticipation. It's music for the dancefloor, your bedroom as you psyche yourself up to go out."

'What She Came For' is rumoured to be the trailer single for the new album, which is scheduled for release in 2009.
