Love Illumination

"Love Illumination" is a song by Scottish indie rock band Franz Ferdinand.

It was released as the second single from the band's fourth studio album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, on 27 June 2013.

[1] In 2015, an arrangement by Derek Williams of Love Illumination performed by Calma Carmona with the orchestra of Scottish Opera was used under licence by Glenfiddich distillery to promote the relaunch of their 21yo single malt.

[7] Nick McCarthy stated that he originally thought the guitar riff, conceived by Alex Kapranos, was "too rocky", but later enjoyed playing it.

[10] The video features psychedelic transitions between clips, band members with animal masks and people dancing randomly with some references of Triadisches Ballett from Buahaus.
