Alex Kapranos has revealed he has got the taste for more producing after fulfilling the role on The Cribs last album ‘Mens Needs, Womens Needs, Whatever’.
Speaking to BBC6 Music, he said: "I'd love to do more producing. We built a studio in Glasgow as well which was where we recorded all of [the new Franz Ferdinand] record. I was talking to Sons and Daughters recently and I'd love to go in and record them. And Panico, the band from Chile, who are now in Paris, that we toured with recently - I'd love to record them”.
The frontman did however say it would be hard to find the opportunity. “If there's a band that excites me and thinks it could work with me then I'd love to, it's just a case of time as for a while we're gonna be busy touring".
Kapranos also stated he has been impressed by the work he’s heard by The Cribs and the Smiths’ Johnny Marr. "Ross [Jarman, drums] played me a few songs that they'd recorded with Johnny, about four or five songs and they sound amazing. He had them on his iPod and it was funny because the guitars were panned hard right and left and it's amazing - in one ear you've got this very distinctive Johnny Marr style, and in the left ear you've got this very distinctive Ryan Jarman style. It's cool, it really works".
