It's somehow been six years since the Strokes released their "new" album, the Grammy-winning The New Abnormal, and the band has been announced for a zillion festivals this year, including an appearance at Coachella this Saturday. So perhaps it was obvious a new LP was on the way. Today they've confirmed it.
A short trailer posted to the band's social media accounts reveals that their new album Reality Awaits will be out this summer. No further information is provided, but the 13-second video features a retro sports car, a slippery plastic Strokes groove, and the tagline, "In The Flesh, It's Even Sexier." Given that frontman Julian Casablancas recently said he no longer speaks to guitarist Nick Valensi, I wonder how much the adults were talking during the making of this one.
Watch the trailer below.
