The band's fifth studio
album will be released later this year and will likely be preceded by the
single 'All The Time', according to Billboard.
News of a new LP comes soon after a radio station claimed it had been sent a brand new Strokes
track titled 'All The Time'. According to Seattle's 107.7, the station was sent
the track by RCA records. "We'll have to 'leak' this soon. You won't be
disappointed..." a post on its Facebook page read.
Meanwhile, last summer, the
British outlet NME confirmed that The Strokes were working on the follow-up to
2011's 'Angles'. Reports that the band had been working on new material at the
famous Electric Lady Studios in their home city of New York were quickly denied
by their management and record label. Sneaky sneaky!
However, guitarist Albert
Hammond Jr's father revealed that the reports were true all along.
Question, why’s his dad
putting them on blast?! I guess if they want to keep a secret they have to
remember not to tell Albert’s dad next time!
Asked if the band were
recording, Hammond Sr said: "Albert says that the stuff they're doing is
incredible. They're doing it themselves with their friend, engineer and
producer. He just says, 'Dad, it's incredible'."
He also said that in terms of sound The Strokes will always be the strokes, so I suppose we can expect the same jangly guitars
and vintage noise everyone loves them for. Personally I don’t love it, but I do love
Fabrizio Moretti so I suppose I'm a fan by default. We’ll see what these rockers have up their
sleeve soon enough.
