[source: NME.com] Franz Ferdinand will release a new song as part of a unique project featuring a host of other bands.

Hot Chip, David Byrne, Deerhoof and TV On The Radio are also among bands who have written songs using original lyrics by Scottish artist David Shrigley.

Shrigley, who painted the artwork for Deerhoof's Friend Opportunity album, published a selection of his lyrics for an unmade pop album in 2006, titled Worried Noodles, which have now been used to write the songs.

A double CD release, Worried Noodles features the original lyrics and artwork, as well as 39 tracks created from the texts. It's set for release on Tuesday 23 October, while a launch show will take place at London Scala on Sunday 14 October, with all proceeds going to Amnesty International.
