You Know There's A New Strokes Album Coming Out? Right? Details!


Well, unless you were avoiding the internet or didn't bother getting up over the past week or so, you're probably aware that The Strokes are set to release their fourth LP on March 22nd. If there was ever a highly anticipated record, it would have to be this one, arriving a little over 5 years after the release of the band's last LP, First Impressions of Earth. 

Initial details of the release were broken by Rolling Stone, and were confirmed by singer Julian Casablancas on his Twitter. The new album will be called Angles and the first single will be "Under Cover of Darkness." Referring to the title, guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. told Rolling Stone, "It's what the record sounds like. It comes from five different people."

Check out the album's tracklist after the jump.
