Nope, it's not a new LP. Nope, it's not an EP. It's a film score. Granted, lots of indie rock sacred cows have been going the soundtrack route lately—shit, everyone from Beck to Sigur Rós to Magnetic Fields to Belle & Sebastian—but few have ever done it quite like this before: Your favorite fops are tackling the score to an incredibly graphic sex scene in the upcoming British flick Nine Songs. Not quite a porno, per se, the film is a love story that just happens to have sex in it. Lots and lots of it, in fact: try fellatio, ejaculation, cunnilingus, and plenty more where that came from. (Whoops, kids, no puns intended, whaaa!) And the craziest news of all: the sex is all unsimulated. UNSIMULATED. Janet Jackson, your boobie cain't step to that.
Of course, Franz Ferdinand aren't alone in this endeavor—they're just the most presently noteworthy of a slew of bands including Super Furry (tactless joke omitted) Animals, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and the Dandy Warhols. In what will almost certainly strike as a brutal art-house cliché, the film will splice in footage of the bands performing while the nastiness occurs. So you get hot hot sex followed by... Gruff Rhys stroking his six-string. Man, talk about killing the mood.
