The Strokes are back

Posted on: 6 March 2011

The Strokes are back on the scene, five years after releasing their third album First Impressions of Earth. Their new record Angles is out on the 21st of this month. Bizarrely, it will be out a day after in the US. I'm personally quite apprehensive about it - given the two singles I've heard off it. But, as with First Impressions, The Strokes are likely going to mix it up a bit from their previous record. It's definitely going to be one to look out for though.

If you're interested in hearing snippets off the new album, check out the blogs, they can't get enough.

The New York quintet haven't changed a lot in half a decade; Albert's got a little less hair and Nickolai still looks strangely uncomfortable, but still one of the coolest bands on the block.

The album's out in 2 weeks, and in the meantime, I'm busying myself with the previous 3 albums and a bit of Julian himself, which sounds better than ever.
