The Fallen was recorded as part of the bands album sessions in Scotland and New York with acclaimed producer Rich Costey.

The single,includes two extra new songs, Jeremy Fraser, a bloggers favourite, sung by Nick McCarthy and Brown Onions, an instrumental recorded in New York. All new songs were produced by Franz Ferdinand and herald another musical leap forward.
