The Strokes Are Working Night And Day
The Strokes are FINALLY working on a new album –> HOORAY, WE LOVE THE STROKES!!! And if any of the band need their members stroked, holla at ya girl.
The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas has said the band are working “night and day” on new material for their fourth album. He told NYmag.com that the atmosphere in the band is “different than before”, with all five members finally coming together as a group.
“It’s night and day now,” he said. “Everyone is working as a group, ‘Let’s do it! Go team!’. Which is amazing. Which is what I wanted since day one. But that’s only happening now. Literally now.”
Casablancas, who recently moved back to New York from Los Angeles, added that before now part of the problem with The Strokes was to do with individual members’ workloads.
“We split the money six ways,” he explained (with manager Ryan Gentles being the sixth recipient), “but we didn’t split the work.”
“If I make it superclear why I was unhappy in the past, it might just rehash things that should have been left alone. I think we’re fulfilling the promise of what we said we were: actually being a unit that really works on everything.”
The Strokes are due to headline the Isle Of Wight festival on June 12, as well as RockNess in Scotland the same weekend.
