He is an Oscar nominee and has a string of new movies coming out, and now Michael Fassbender's career is taking a musical turn.

The Kerryman plays quirky musician Frank Sidebottom in Lenny Abrahamson's new movie Frank, and lends his voice to all the vocals as well as guitar playing (swoon).

Now Director Abrahamson has said they will be releasing an album of songs, all performed by Fassbender of course.

"We are releasing a full soundtrack actually, including songs that weren't even in the movie," he said.

"Michael is a great musician and we got him in the studio and recorded extra tracks. We’ll be releasing a full album soon."
