The Strokes Reality Awaits - Worth the Six Year Wait

[Anvil79]

The Strokes have a new album coming on 26 June, their first since The New Abnormal in 2020, produced by Rick Rubin. Two singles out: Going Shopping from April and Falling out of Love from May. Six years between albums is a long time for a band whose legacy is so locked to a specific moment.

The question with any Strokes album is always the same: does it recapture something or does it find something new? Have you heard the singles and what are you expecting?

Going Shopping is a good song but it does not sound like a band who felt urgency about releasing it. That is either a feature or a bug depending on what you want from The Strokes
