Looks like we will be getting a collaborative album with Sparks and Franz Ferdinand later this year
Russell Mael earlier announced that the two bands had collaborated on writing and recording an album, and that the new unit — whose name has not been revealed — would tour in Europe starting in June, with plans for some U.S. dates to follow.
“This all started coming together when both our bands played Coachella two years ago,” Kapranos told Pop & Hiss backstage after the show.
“We were both in San Francisco at the same time, and we started talking, you know, ‘We should record a song together sometime,’ ” he said. “A lot of times people say that, and nothing ever happens, but they followed up, and we started exchanging ideas, and pretty quickly we had six songs worked up and realized, ‘This is going to be an album.’”

According to Sparks Maeling List-
As announced earlier this year Sparks have teamed up with Franz Ferdinand to form FFS and the self-titled album will be released this June. FFS will be available as a standard 12 track CD, 16 track deluxe CD, 16 track 2LP vinyl , 16 track 2LP coloured vinyl (independent stores only) and download. It is available to pre-order now:
But as that seems to be the only Amazon listing, I'm not sure about the details on 12 track CD.
P.S. Collaborations Don't Work

If you're not nice
The CD with 12 tracks is listed in the UK -- it simply has less tracks, nothing unique -- but the full edition with 16 tracks is the only CD listed as a domestic release so far:

Finally got around to listening to this throughout the day. Who says "Collaborations Don't Work"? Ha, sure works here. One of the best albums of the year.
