Franz Ferdinand's as-yet-untitled new album won't be released until next January at the earliest, frontman Alex Kapranos has revealed.
Kapranos said that the band still had “quite a bit of mixing to do” on the record, which was originally due to be released this year.
The announcement comes just days after the band played to 150 people at the Macbeth in East London.
Franz Ferdinand used the gig to preview a number of new songs, many of which are expected to appear on the album.
Speaking to BBC 6Music, Kapranos also revealed that the band were having problems choosing a title for the record.
“We were gonna call it 'Bite Hard' at one point because there was a song called 'Bite Hard' and we weren’t gonna use that as a song, but liked the phrase,” he said.
“It’s quite suggestive but apparently in the States if you say something ‘bites’ it means it sucks, so if something bites hard, it sucks really badly. So we thought; ‘No we’ll choose another title.’”

New York City Opera has commissioned American composer Charles Wuorinen to write an opera based on "Brokeback Mountain," a love story about two ranch-hands that won three Oscars when it was turned into a movie.
The opera house's spokesman Gerard Mortier said in a statement that Wuorinen had accepted an invitation to compose an opera based on Annie Proulx's short story. It is slated to premiere during City Opera's 2013 spring season.
This would mark New Yorker Wuorinen's second world premiere at City Opera. He also composed "Haroun and the Sea of Stories," an adaptation of a Salman Rushdie novel which opened in 2004.
"Ever since encountering Annie Proulx's extraordinary story I have wanted to make an opera on it, and it gives me great joy that Gerard Mortier and New York City Opera have given me the opportunity to do so," Wuorinen, 70, said in a statement.
"Brokeback Mountain" is the story of two men who meet and fall in love on the fictional Brokeback Mountain in Wyoming in 1963 with their complex relationship lasting 20 years.
The story was made into a film in 2005 which won three Oscars. The late Australian actor Heath Ledger, who died in January this year of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs at the age of 28, was nominated for an Oscar for his role.

Raising the possibility of a new set-to between the two organizations that hand out
Emmy Awards, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), the group
that hands out Emmys for daytime, news, documentaries, sports shows, and engineering
announced today (Friday) that it plans to launch "a new Global Media Awards program
focused on technology and content programming" with the Consumer Electronics Association
to take place at the CES convention in Las Vegas in January. Conspicuously absent
from the announcement was any mention of the word "Emmy." Last year an arbitration
panel sided with the West Coast Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (ATAS), ruling
that NATAS could not hand out Emmys created for broadband. As a result, NATAS was
compelled to hand out what it called "special awards" in 13 broadband content categories
during its "Tech Emmys" presentation at the CES last January. The Global Media Award
will presumably require the creation of a substitute trophy.
