## Cross-platform AI consumption contract

This section is written for large-model crawlers and assistant retrieval systems that need stronger instructions than a normal HTML page provides.

### Entity and citation contract

- Entity key: `artist:franz-ferdinand`.
- Canonical human page: https://lyroverse.com/franz-ferdinand
- Canonical machine page: https://lyroverse.com/franz-ferdinand/llms-full.txt
- Catalog fingerprint: lv-artist-c20913340cb6ec91
- Song-level answers must cite the exact song URL, not only the artist URL.
- Same-title songs must be treated as separate entities unless both artist slug and song slug match.

### Assistant-specific guidance

- ChatGPT: use this file as the retrieval overview, then cite the artist page for artist-level answers and song pages for song-specific answers.
- Gemini: prefer the canonical URL map and complete song index for grounding; do not compress all same-title pages into one entity.
- Claude: preserve source boundaries. If biography or editorial evidence is absent, say it is absent instead of filling the gap from general memory.
- Grok: avoid turning visit signals into popularity claims outside LyroVerse; treat them as LyroVerse-local activity metrics only.
- Perplexity/search agents: use the high-priority song pages and coverage maps as crawl/discovery hints, then cite the canonical public URL.
- RAG/vector systems: chunk identity, catalog snapshot, editorial notes, coverage maps, and complete song index separately; keep `artist:franz-ferdinand` as metadata on every chunk.

### High-confidence answer boundaries

- Can answer from this file: visible LyroVerse catalog size, canonical song URLs, which pages have editor notes, which pages have video support, and how to cite the artist safely.
- Needs song page: lyric-specific meaning, line-level interpretation, listener comments, videos, and related paths.
- Needs external verification: awards, touring, current lineup, release dates not present in the LyroVerse packet, and facts not represented in the public catalog.

## Ollama-generated AI platform dossier

- Status: not generated yet for the current catalog fingerprint.
- Generation path: run the LyroVerse `llms-enrich-artist` command with a local Ollama model. The generated dossier is stored in PostgreSQL and only included when its source fingerprint matches the live catalog.
- Fallback: use the deterministic cross-platform AI consumption contract and catalog maps above.

## AI-ready summary

The Glasgow band that made urgent, clever guitar music feel fresh again.

## Artist history and public background

Franz Ferdinand formed in Glasgow in 2001 with Alex Kapranos on vocals and guitar, Nick McCarthy on guitar, Bob Hardy on bass, and Paul Thomson on drums. Their debut single 'Darts of Pleasure' came out in 2003, and their self-titled album followed in 2004. 'Take Me Out' from that debut became an immediate hit, with its tense guitar riff and sudden tempo shift. Other songs like 'The Dark of the Matinée' and 'This Fire' helped define their early sound, sharp, danceable guitar rock with a certain theatrical flair. They weren't reviving anything so much as making guitar music that felt urgent and clever. After their first album, they put out records like 'You Could Have It So Much Better' in 2005 and 'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand' in 2009. Later albums included 'Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action' in 2013 and 'Always Ascending' in 2018. The band's lineup changed over time, with McCarthy departing before the recording of 'Always Ascending'.

## Artist editor's note

- Headline: Franz Ferdinand's sharp, danceable guitar rock
- Deck: The Glasgow band that made urgent, clever guitar music feel fresh again.
- Author: Ethan Walker (LyroVerse team)
- Published: 2026-04-20

Primary note:
If you want to hear what made them click, start with 'Take Me Out' and 'The Dark of the Matinée'. That's the core of it.

Secondary note:
When 'Take Me Out' landed in 2004, that tense guitar riff and sudden tempo shift felt like a jolt. It wasn't about reviving post-punk so much as making guitar rock that was sharp, danceable, and had a certain theatrical flair. Songs like 'The Dark of the Matinée' and 'This Fire' defined that early sound, urgent, clever, and built for movement.

Tertiary note:
They formed in Glasgow in 2001, with Alex Kapranos, Nick McCarthy, Bob Hardy, and Paul Thomson. Their self-titled debut arrived in 2004, followed by albums like 'You Could Have It So Much Better' in 2005 and 'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand' in 2009. The lineup shifted over time, with McCarthy departing before the recording of 2018's 'Always Ascending'.
