For the next 48 hours The Strokes are giving away ‘Under Cover Of Darkness‘, the first single from the much awaited new album ‘Angles’ . It has been five long years since “First Impressions of Earth” was released to a bittersweet reception but we can look back and appreciate the darker side of that album.
The band members used this downtime to work on individual projects such as band leader Julian Casablancas’ great debut solo album ‘Phrases for the Young’, drummer Fabrizio Moretti’s summery project Little Joy in which he proved that he is not only the reliable heartbeat that keeps the band alive but also a talented singer, or Albert Hammond JR lovely ‘Yours to Keep’ album .
Following this self imposed break it seems they have all benefited from this extensive break and put their past differences aside. In a time where it seems that a new rock band is born every two seconds, all eyes are on the ones who revived garage rock and gave birth to what is undeniably one of the greatest albums of 2000s.
It’s time for the New Yorkers to take back their throne.
